Take a look through the movers listed below - a few details on each card matter more than the star rating alone.

Read the license and insurance line first

New Jersey requires movers doing intrastate work to be registered, so a card without a visible license number is worth skipping. Insurance matters because the coverage that's automatically included is thin: basic carrier liability pays only $0.60 per pound per item, meaning a 30-pound, $2,000 television gets you just $18 if it's damaged. A mover that flags Full Value Protection as an option is telling you it has something better to offer.

Weigh the review count against the price range

Local moves here typically run $502 to $4,472 depending on home size, with hourly rates commonly landing between $150 and $250 or more for a two-to-three-person crew. A high review count matters less than what the reviews describe - look for mentions of binding estimates rather than verbal quotes, since a non-binding number can legally increase 10-20% once the truck is loaded. If a listing highlights stair or long-carry handling, that's useful if your place has a walk-up or a driveway more than 75-100 feet from the door.

Households arriving from another state report $95,373 in average annual income; those relocating from elsewhere in New Jersey report $97,214. Long-distance arrivals are the higher-budget half of the market.

How this works: IRS SOI County-to-County Migration Data, 2022-2023. The IRS compares the address on consecutive tax returns, so every move here is a real filed household. The catch: it publishes annually with about a two-year lag, counts Essex County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 12% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.

How much truck space do you need?

I’m moving a that’s .

A moving truck filling up as you change the options
1,150
cubic feet — what a local crew loads
8,050 lb what a long-distance carrier quotes on
26 ft rental truck, if you drive it yourself

Industry rules of thumb — about seven pounds per cubic foot, and published rental-truck capacities. Not our carrier records, not a quote. Bring both numbers to the call and what you get back will finally be comparable.
