What the interstate rules give you
A licensed carrier. Active interstate operating authority (an MC number) and a USDOT number, both checkable on the FMCSA register. A company that offers neither is a broker at best.
A written estimate before loading. Binding fixes the price for the listed inventory; non-binding follows the weighed shipment. The carrier cannot demand more than 110% of a non-binding estimate at delivery, with the balance billed within 30 days. Ask for binding not-to-exceed by name, after a survey.
Valuation. Released-value protection is included at 60 cents per pound per item; full-value protection is the upgrade worth buying for 2,528 miles of handling.
A delivery window, in writing. If it is on the bill of lading, missing it entitles you to delay costs. If it is not, it entitles you to an apology.

Oregon to Georgia moving FAQ
How much does it cost to move from Oregon to Georgia?
Between the two states' main cities, Portland and Atlanta, the distance is about 2,528 miles. From our model that is $11,376 – $15,168 for a two-bedroom home and $13,082 – $17,443 for three bedrooms with full-service movers, transport only. A container you load yourself is about $8,191 – $10,921 for the two-bedroom home; a freight trailer about $5,460 – $7,281. Across the 12 city pairs we price between Oregon and Georgia, distances run from 2,528 to 2,803 miles, so use the table for your own cities.
How long does a move from Oregon to Georgia take?
Portland to Atlanta is 6 days on the road (about 46 hours of driving). The move itself typically takes 7 to 14 days, because at this distance it usually travels on a consolidated load sharing trailer space with other households. Get the delivery window in writing. Book ahead: 6 to 8 weeks, 8 to 12 in summer.
Do I need an interstate-licensed mover for Oregon to Georgia?
Yes. Any move that crosses from Oregon into Georgia is regulated by the FMCSA, and the carrier must hold active interstate operating authority (an MC number) as well as a USDOT number. Check both on the FMCSA register before you sign. Interstate carriers must give you a written estimate, the federal "Your Rights and Responsibilities When You Move" booklet, and access to an arbitration programme, and cannot demand more than 110% of a non-binding estimate before releasing your goods.
What is the cheapest way to move from Oregon to Georgia?
Load a freight trailer yourself: about $5,460 – $7,281 for a two-bedroom home over 2,528 miles against $11,376 – $15,168 with full-service movers. A container splits the difference and gives you days to load. On any of them, moving between October and April, mid-month and mid-week, is worth another 20 to 30 percent — a peak-season date puts the three-bedroom figure at $16,353 – $21,804 rather than $13,082 – $17,443.
