South Fulton, GA → Augusta, GA · Regional long-distance move
About 172 road miles heading east. Typical two-bedroom cost $2,160–$3,210, delivery in 1–2 days, 1,228 carriers on the South Fulton side and 200 in Augusta.
Moving from South Fulton to Augusta is a regional long-distance move of roughly 172 road miles, heading east within Georgia.
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 $2,160 to $3,210 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 1 to 2 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 3 h 40 min.
On the South Fulton side there are 1,228 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (556 of them authorized for interstate work), and 200 around Augusta (127 interstate). For an in-state 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.
South Fulton has a population of about 112,820 and Augusta about 201,999. South Fulton is considerably denser (1,261 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 172 road miles (146 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 3 h 40 min.
Expect a delivery window of 1 to 2 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.
No. Because both South Fulton and Augusta are in Georgia, this is an intrastate move regulated by the state rather than the FMCSA. Still, choosing a carrier with an active USDOT number is the easiest way to confirm the company is a registered motor carrier with insurance on file.
A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $330 to $460 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,170 to $1,730. 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 South Fulton–Augusta corridor.
