Cherry Hill, NJ → Bethlehem, PA · Short-haul move
About 60 road miles heading north. Typical two-bedroom cost $1,390–$2,080, delivery in 1–2 days, 838 carriers on the Cherry Hill side and 402 in Bethlehem.
The route from Cherry Hill, NJ to Bethlehem, PA covers roughly 60 miles by road, a north-bound trip that falls into the short-haul move category for pricing purposes.
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 44 min counted as billable travel time. A typical two-bedroom household lands between $1,390 and $2,080, before packing or storage.
On the Cherry Hill side there are 838 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (563 of them authorized for interstate work), and 402 around Bethlehem (297 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 Bethlehem.
Cherry Hill has a population of about 74,000 and Bethlehem about 78,000. Cherry Hill is considerably denser (20,442 people per square mile versus 3,964), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination. Labor and living costs run lower in Pennsylvania than in New Jersey, which tends to make destination-side services such as unpacking or storage cheaper than the same services back home.

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 New Jersey into Pennsylvania 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 $210 to $300 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,070 to $1,580. 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 Cherry Hill–Bethlehem corridor.
