Jacksonville is roughly 280 miles from Athens, a southbound run on I-75 that swings east on I-10 to reach the First Coast. We move plenty of people on this route — retirees heading for warmer winters, families chasing Navy and port jobs around Mayport, and renters trading red Georgia clay for the beaches near the St. Johns River.
At this distance it is normally a one-day delivery. We load in Athens, drive the truck down through Florida, and have you unloading in Jacksonville the next day. The same crew that carries boxes out of your Five Points house or your downtown high-rise apartment is the crew that brings them in at your new Florida address.
South to Florida on a Single Truck
What lets us keep a 280-mile move to one tidy delivery is that there is no carrier swap. Faster Moving Services owns the truck and the crew rides it the full way to the coast. Your shipment is not parked on a shared trailer in Macon or Lake City, not handed to a Florida delivery outfit, and not waiting on a distant scheduler — one team is on the hook from your Athens door to your Jacksonville door.
Give us your dates and we will return a binding written quote the same day, often within the hour. A $89 deposit holds the truck and is applied to your final bill.
