The route from Aurora, IL to Lakewood, NJ covers roughly 877 miles by road, a east-bound trip that falls into the long-distance move category for pricing purposes.
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 $4,750 to $7,070 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 2 to 5 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 15 h 49 min.
On the Aurora side there are 824 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (675 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.
Aurora has a population of about 181,505 and Lakewood about 143,765. Lakewood is the denser city (5,472 people per square mile versus 4,012 in Aurora), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. New Jersey is a higher-cost state than Illinois, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses.
