Augusta sits roughly 95 miles east of Athens, and the cleanest way there is US-78 across the rolling Piedmont and red-clay country between the two cities. It is a route we run often for folks chasing work at the medical center, military families tied to Fort Eisenhower, and anyone heading toward the Savannah River and the Masters city.
Because it is under a hundred miles, an Augusta move almost always wraps in a single day. We load in Athens in the morning, make the run east on US-78, and have you unpacking that evening. The crew that carries your boxes out of a Normaltown bungalow or an Eastside apartment is the same crew that sets them down in Augusta.
One Truck, One Crew, East Across Georgia
What keeps this move quick is that there is no relay. Faster Moving Services owns the truck and employs the movers, so your belongings go from your Athens door to your Augusta door without being transferred to another carrier or parked on someone else’s trailer. Fewer hands on your furniture means fewer dings and a faster day.
Give us your dates and we will send a written quote back the same day, often within the hour, with the truck and crew reserved. A $89 deposit locks it in and is credited to your final bill.
