Route overview

Inland rather than down the coast. The truck leaves the city through New Jersey and Pennsylvania to reach I-81, follows it down the Shenandoah Valley, then takes I-77 over the Blue Ridge into North Carolina and through Charlotte, where I-85 heads southwest across upstate South Carolina into Atlanta.

Fog can roll in fast on the steep Fancy Gap grade of I-77 near the Virginia and North Carolina line, and when it does, speed limits drop and the road sometimes closes. Winter ice on the same grade can slow a load as well.

If the car lives on a New York street, alternate-side parking may mean moving it the morning of pickup. Tell us where it’s parked; many city pickups meet the truck on a wide avenue or at a lot instead of the curb out front.

FAQs

New York to Atlanta: what sets the price?
The vehicle and the week set most of it. A compact costs less than a full-size SUV, enclosed transport costs more than open, and a fixed pickup date leaves less room to fit the car onto a truck already headed south.
What about the trip from Atlanta back up to New York?
Atlanta to New York City is listed too, using the same inland interstates heading north.
When does delivery in Atlanta usually happen?
When the driver’s route reaches it, often mid-morning or early afternoon, away from the worst of the rush-hour traffic. Keep your phone on that day so the driver can give you a closer time.
