Local pricing along the Hudson County waterfront

Moving to or from West New York, whether locally or across the river, is typically billed by the hour plus a truck or travel fee, or by a binding flat rate built from an inventory list. Across New Jersey, local movers charge $90 to $150 an hour, and a typical local move averages around $900, with a studio running closer to $550 and a larger home closer to $1,900.

What to ask before booking

Get a binding estimate rather than a phone quote so the price can't legally increase later, and ask directly whether the number includes travel time, tolls, and fuel, since New Jersey's tunnel and bridge crossings add up. If your building has stairs or a slow elevator, confirm whether that's already factored into the quote or billed separately.

Households arriving from another state report $116,678 in average annual income; those relocating from elsewhere in New Jersey report $92,069. 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 Hudson County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 10% 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.
