One thing that catches people off guard moving around Wood-Ridge: nearly every reputable local mover here prices by the hour, based on crew size and truck count, rather than quoting a flat fee for the whole job, so two nearly identical moves can land at very different totals depending on how fast the crew works and how many of them show up.

Once that is understood, the numbers for this part of Bergen County are fairly predictable. A studio apartment runs about $550 to $650 total with two movers over two to three hours. A one-to-two-bedroom home runs $800 to $1,100 with two to three movers over four to six hours. A three-bedroom-plus home runs $1,500 to $2,200 or more with three to four movers for a full day. Hourly rates themselves typically fall between $120 and $180 for a two-mover crew, climbing further if a third or fourth mover is added to the job.

Households arriving from another state report $127,694 in average annual income; those relocating from elsewhere in New Jersey report $100,808. 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 Bergen County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 11% 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.
