Allentown, PA → Woodbridge, NJ · Short-haul move
About 74 road miles heading east. Typical two-bedroom cost $1,470–$2,180, delivery in 1–2 days, 424 carriers on the Allentown side and 812 in Woodbridge.
Woodbridge sits about 74 miles east of Allentown, which makes this an interstate relocation from Pennsylvania to New Jersey that most movers classify as a short-haul move.
Because the two cities are close together, most companies quote this move by the hour: a crew of two to four movers plus a truck, with the drive of about 1 h 59 min counted as billable travel time. A typical two-bedroom household lands between $1,470 and $2,180, before packing or storage.
On the Allentown side there are 424 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (296 of them authorized for interstate work), and 812 around Woodbridge (558 interstate). For an interstate move you can book from either end; movers near the origin handle loading and are usually the better first call, while a destination-side company can be useful if you need storage or delivery-day help in Woodbridge.
Allentown has a population of about 126,044 and Woodbridge about 104,802. Allentown is considerably denser (7,150 people per square mile versus 4,448), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination. New Jersey is a higher-cost state than Pennsylvania, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses.

For a move this short, loading and delivery normally happen on the same day. Most crews finish a two-bedroom home in 5 to 8 hours plus the drive.
Yes. Crossing from Pennsylvania into New Jersey makes this an interstate move, so the carrier must hold active FMCSA operating authority (an MC number) in addition to its USDOT number. The company cards on this page flag which carriers are authorized for interstate work.
A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $230 to $320 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,090 to $1,600. Both save money versus a full-service crew but you do the loading, and container transit can take longer than a mover's delivery window.
Rates are highest in summer and around the last days of any month, when demand peaks. Mid-month, mid-week and winter dates are usually quoted below the standard rate. Booking four to eight weeks ahead gives you the widest choice of carriers on the Allentown–Woodbridge corridor.
