Moving Georgia Since 1926

 A.C. White is a 4th generation family-owned Atlanta moving company. Founded in 1926 by A.C. White Sr., he purchased a pickup truck and went into the drayage business from his home in Marietta, Georgia. A year later he moved the business to Atlanta set up a desk in the back of a barber shop and bought a new 1926 Chevrolet open truck. Our first van body was built in a blacksmith’s shop in Blackwell, GA, in 1929, and another in 1930. The first van was lettered by the oldest daughter, Dorothy White DeMay when she was only 13 years old in 1929.
In 1930, A. C. White Jr., then 10 years old, made a trip to New York in the 1930 Chevrolet and was gone for almost 3 weeks, covering approximately 12 states. This unit didn’t have doors or body lights. Lanterns were hung on the corners at dark.
The company grew from 1 truck in 1926 until it became one of the south’s largest moving companies in 1941, employing 40 people. We maintained offices in several cities, as far away as Washington, D. C., and New York City. We had 5 warehouses, 8 tractor & trailers, and 10 straight vans. World War II came, and most of the good personnel was lost to the war effort, and the business was practically liquidated. Offices in major cities closed, warehouses and long-haul equipment sold. A. C. White Jr. went into the Navy in 1943. Operations were restricted to Georgia, with 4 trucks and 2 warehouses & A. C. White Sr. opened several furniture stores and bought and sold real estate.
