Assuming no travel time is being added to the equation, for example, if you are driving just the short distance of a few blocks from one side of the border from Georgia to the other side of the border in Alabama, you would be an hour earlier when you get to Alabama. Eastern Standard Time (EST) is one hour ahead of Central Standard Time (CST) in the US.

Example: If you leave the Eastern time zone at the western edge of Georgia at 8:00 am and drive west five minutes to get to the state line of Alabama in the Central time zone, the time when you get to Alabama will be 7:05 am.

Additional Information:

EST = GMT/UTC -5

CST = GMT/UTC -6
