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 is in Clayton County. About 30 min south of Atlanta via I-75 and Tara Boulevard. Drive time is inside our standard hourly rate — there is no Clayton County travel surcharge and no per-mile fuel fee.
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.

Most Jonesboro jobs book 1–3 weeks out, and end-of-month and Saturday dates in Clayton County fill first. We confirm crew size, truck size, and arrival window in writing when you book, and we call the morning of the move with the crew's ETA. If a building or HOA in Jonesboro needs a certificate of insurance, we issue it within 24 hours of getting the property manager's requirements.
Moving blankets, shrink wrap, straps, dollies, floor runners, and door-jamb protection come on the truck at no charge, along with bed disassembly and reassembly and TV dismount. Drive time to and from Jonesboro is billed inside the hourly rate rather than added as a trip charge, and there are no per-stair, per-flight, or elevator fees.
Historic Jonesboro (Historic Jonesboro Square, Stately Oaks Plantation); Lake Spivey Area (Lake Spivey, Lake Spivey Golf Club); Tara Boulevard Corridor (Tara Boulevard, Tara Stadium). Our crews scope parking, dock access, and elevator reservations for each address before move day rather than improvising on arrival.
We handle both directions at the same hourly rate — Jonesboro to intown Atlanta, Jonesboro to the northern or southern suburbs, and long-distance origins within Georgia. Because we are a licensed Georgia household-goods carrier (GA HHG #9320, USDOT #3657392) and fully insured, we can also handle the paperwork buildings and property managers ask for.
