Silver Spring, MD → Marietta, GA · Long-distance move
About 642 road miles heading southwest. Typical two-bedroom cost $3,880–$5,780, delivery in 2–5 days, 813 carriers on the Silver Spring side and 801 in Marietta.
Marietta sits about 642 miles southwest of Silver Spring, which makes this an interstate relocation from Maryland 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 $3,880 to $5,780 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 11 h 46 min.
On the Silver Spring side there are 813 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (494 of them authorized for interstate work), and 801 around Marietta (372 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 Marietta.
Silver Spring has a population of about 82,000 and Marietta about 62,000. Silver Spring is considerably denser (10,277 people per square mile versus 2,594), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination. Labor and living costs run lower in Georgia than in Maryland, which tends to make destination-side services such as unpacking or storage cheaper than the same services back home.

About 642 road miles (544 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 11 h 46 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 Maryland 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 $960 to $1,350 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,590 to $2,340. 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 Silver Spring–Marietta corridor.
