Atlanta is the longest haul we keep on the regular schedule, a genuine out-of-state run straight up the I-75 spine. From Tampa Bay we point north on I-75, climb past Gainesville and Lake City, cross into Georgia beyond Valdosta, roll on through Macon, and arrive in metro Atlanta about 460 miles later, close to six and a half hours of driving. Brett Donovan and Greg Hayes treat this as a direct haul, never a load to pass along, so the hands that wrap your headboard in Tampa are the same hands that stand it back upright north of the state line.
One truck, one Tampa Bay crew, one regulated job from Tampa into Georgia. Your shipment never mingles with another family’s cartons, never switches trailers at some yard, and never gets handed to a Georgia company at your new curb.

Tampa Bay homes Brett and Greg drive up to Georgia
An Atlanta move tends to mean a new job or opportunity up north, and the reasons usually carry real weight:
- A professional in corporate, logistics, or tech leaving a Westshore rental for a metro Atlanta role
- Parents trading a master-planned FishHawk or Westchase house for openings and family in Georgia
- A young household swapping a Riverview townhome for a starter place in the Atlanta suburbs
- A couple closing out a Tampa Palms residence for milder summers and the grandkids up the road
What we settle at your Tampa door before I-75 starts
✓ Our own trucks, staffed by movers on the B and G Movers payroll
- Call and Brett, Greg or someone else at our Westshore office answers in person, never a rented call floor
- The total on the written estimate is what you pay at the door — no move-day surcharge bolted on, no padded line items slid into the invoice.
- One B and G Movers crew packs, loads and unloads the whole way through
- Every load carries $1M of coverage, and any certificate of insurance your HOA or high-rise requires goes out the same day
- If something goes sideways, Brett and Greg handle the claim themselves, and it stays inside our Westshore office
× Broker chain
- Run those same details through a broker and they ricochet around a call floor before getting sold to whoever bids lowest.
- Unexpected “extras” added to the invoice the second the truck arrives
- An unfamiliar truck shows up carrying a crew of strangers
- The certificate of insurance and the building paperwork land on you to track down
- Broken items waved off with a “that was not our subcontractor” excuse
The full Tampa Bay side is handled before a wheel turns. We file the certificate of insurance and reserve the freight elevator and dock window for a downtown, Channelside, or Westshore tower; pull the gate code and HOA move window for a FishHawk, Westchase, or Seven Oaks address; plan the narrow drive and bridge approach at a Davis Islands or Harbour Island waterfront home; and hold the curb at an elevator-free third floor in Brandon so nothing breaks stride.
The home is then fully padded and strapped for the long pull, the humid heat built into that first wrap. Our driver works clear of Tampa Bay traffic, holds I-75 north through Valdosta and Macon, and brings it down into metro Atlanta. A studio or one-bedroom takes the standard truck; a bigger home rolls out the larger box, and the whole household still lands in Georgia on one trip.
Pricing 460 interstate miles is straightforward; the discipline of a direct haul is the real work
Six and a half hours up I-75 is true out-of-state long-distance, and the interstate forgives most things. The harder part is an Atlanta high-rise on a rigid dock reservation, or a gated Tampa pickup squeezed into a thin HOA window. Licensed under USDOT and MC authority, we count all 460 miles as one regulated job, and your $1M in cargo coverage clamps onto the load the moment the crew shuts the doors in Tampa. Nothing gets interlined, nothing gets farmed out, and no Atlanta firm ever inherits the job.
A single B and G Movers figure across the whole Georgia haul
Plenty of road, but the number holds:
- Around $1,650 to $2,500 on a one-bedroom, $2,500 to $3,800 on a two-bedroom, and $3,800 to $5,500 on a three-bedroom, the distance folded in and signed off before any lifting starts
- One Tampa Bay crew works both the Tampa pickup and the Atlanta drop
- Your household rides under the same $1M coverage across the entire 460-mile run
- If the Atlanta lease or closing slips, climate-controlled storage runs about $110 to $260 a month, keyed to the unit you take
