Monroe, LA → Augusta, GA · Long-distance move
About 688 road miles heading east. Typical two-bedroom cost $3,680–$5,470, delivery in 2–5 days, 49 carriers on the Monroe side and 200 in Augusta.
Augusta sits about 688 miles east of Monroe, which makes this an interstate relocation from Louisiana to Georgia that most movers classify as a long-distance move.
At this distance carriers price by shipment weight and mileage rather than by the hour. A two-bedroom home (around 5,000 lb of goods) typically costs $3,680 to $5,470 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 2 to 5 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 12 h 34 min.
On the Monroe side there are 49 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (26 of them authorized for interstate work), and 200 around Augusta (127 interstate). For an interstate move you can book from either end; movers near the origin handle loading and are usually the better first call, while a destination-side company can be useful if you need storage or delivery-day help in Augusta.
Monroe has a population of about 46,000 and Augusta about 201,999. Monroe is considerably denser (1,604 people per square mile versus 668), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination.

About 688 road miles (583 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 12 h 34 min.
Expect a delivery window of 2 to 5 days after pickup. Carriers give a spread rather than a fixed date because long-distance trucks carry several shipments; a dedicated truck or expedited service shortens the window for an extra fee.
Yes. Crossing from Louisiana into Georgia makes this an interstate move, so the carrier must hold active FMCSA operating authority (an MC number) in addition to its USDOT number. The company cards on this page flag which carriers are authorized for interstate work.
A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $1,010 to $1,420 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,630 to $2,400. Both save money versus a full-service crew but you do the loading, and container transit can take longer than a mover's delivery window.
Rates are highest in summer and around the last days of any month, when demand peaks. Mid-month, mid-week and winter dates are usually quoted below the standard rate. Booking four to eight weeks ahead gives you the widest choice of carriers on the Monroe–Augusta corridor.
