Astoria, OR → Lakewood, NJ · Cross-country move
About 2,943 road miles heading east. Typical two-bedroom cost $9,080–$13,500, delivery in 7–14 days, 11 carriers on the Astoria side and 171 in Lakewood.
Moving from Astoria to Lakewood is a cross-country move of roughly 2,943 road miles, heading east from Oregon to New Jersey.
At this distance carriers price by shipment weight and mileage rather than by the hour. A two-bedroom home (around 5,000 lb of goods) typically costs $9,080 to $13,500 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 7 to 14 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 51 hours (6 driving days).
On the Astoria side there are 11 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (8 of them authorized for interstate work), and 171 around Lakewood (91 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 Lakewood.
Astoria has a population of about 10,000 and Lakewood about 143,765. Lakewood is the denser city (5,472 people per square mile versus 1,667 in Astoria), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day.

About 2,943 road miles (2,494 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 51 hours (6 driving days).
Expect a delivery window of 7 to 14 days after pickup. Carriers give a spread rather than a fixed date because long-distance trucks carry several shipments; a dedicated truck or expedited service shortens the window for an extra fee.
Yes. Crossing from Oregon 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 $4,070 to $5,750 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $3,650 to $5,360. 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 Astoria–Lakewood corridor.
