The route from Avondale, AZ to Toms River, NJ covers roughly 2,533 miles by road, a northeast-bound trip that falls into the cross-country 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 $8,130 to $12,100 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 44 hours (5 driving days).
On the Avondale side there are 311 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (138 of them authorized for interstate work), and 114 around Toms River (61 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 Toms River.
Avondale has a population of about 100,983 and Toms River about 100,899. The two cities have comparable density (1,889 and 2,356 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends. New Jersey is a higher-cost state than Arizona, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses.

About 2,533 road miles (2,147 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 44 hours (5 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 Arizona 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 $3,500 to $4,950 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $3,280 to $4,820. 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 Avondale–Toms River corridor.
