Bears Moving Co. runs movers through Jonesboro on a regular schedule, which is why our estimates account for the parking, stairs, and access conditions here instead of a generic average. Bears Moving Co. is licensed (GA HHG #9320), fully insured, and covers Jonesboro and the rest of Clayton County at one honest hourly rate with no travel surcharge.
When someone in Jonesboro searches "movers near me," what they actually need is a licensed crew that already knows the streets, the parking, and the building rules here — not a call center routing the job to whoever is available.
Jonesboro is the seat of Clayton County with a historic downtown core and the Lake Spivey neighborhoods. Bears Moving Co. (GA HHG #9320) covers Jonesboro at our standard hourly rate.
Jonesboro splits between three move types. The historic downtown core (around the Clayton County courthouse and the Margaret Mitchell history sites) has 1900s construction with original hardwoods and narrow doorways. The Lake Spivey-adjacent neighborhoods have larger homes with longer driveways and occasional dock cargo. The Tara Boulevard corridor has apartments and townhomes with HOA loading. I-75 plus Tara Boulevard is the main approach.
Jonesboro historic-downtown moves typically run 8–10+ hours with a 3- or 4-mover crew. Lake Spivey estate moves run 8–10+ hours with a 3- or 4-mover crew. Tara Boulevard apartments run 2–4 hours. Drive time is included in the hourly rate. No Clayton County surcharge.
We move regularly through the downtown core around the courthouse, the Lake Spivey neighborhoods, and the apartments along Tara Boulevard. Our crews know which downtown streets exclude a 26-foot truck (we send a 20-footer), and which Lake Spivey driveways need a shuttle in heavy rain.
We work regularly around Historic Jonesboro, Lake Spivey Area, and Tara Boulevard Corridor, and every one of those areas is covered at the same hourly rate as the rest of Clayton County.
About 30 min south of Atlanta via I-75 and Tara Boulevard. Because Jonesboro sits inside our standard service zone, drive time is billed inside the hourly rate instead of appearing as a trip charge or fuel surcharge. When you request a quote we confirm the crew size, truck size, and arrival window in writing, and we call the morning of the job with the crew's ETA.
Most Jonesboro jobs book one to three weeks out, and the first and last three days of the month plus every Saturday fill first across Clayton County. If a building, HOA, or storage facility needs a certificate of insurance naming them as additional insured, we issue it within one business day of receiving their requirements.

Yes. Bears Moving Co. is an Atlanta-based moving company and Jonesboro is inside our standard service radius. The crew that shows up is our crew — we don't broker jobs to third-party carriers.
We charge one hourly rate with a two-hour minimum, and the rate covers the truck, fuel, equipment, and protection. What changes the total is home size, stair count, and carry distance — which is why we ask about all three before quoting.
Often, yes. Mid-week dates are the easiest to get on short notice. End-of-month, Fridays, and summer weekends fill first — call and we'll tell you honestly what's open.
Yes — the homes around the courthouse and historic core are familiar territory. We send a 20-foot truck and bring extra floor runners and door-jamb pads.
Yes. We pre-scout the driveway via Google Earth at quote time and bring a shuttle if a 26-foot truck can't make it. Dock cargo and boathouse contents are included if mentioned at quote.
