The route from Cherry Hill, NJ to Idaho Falls, ID covers roughly 2,253 miles by road, a west-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 $7,580 to $11,280 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 39 hours (5 driving days).
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 81 around Idaho Falls (67 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 Idaho Falls.
Cherry Hill has a population of about 74,000 and Idaho Falls about 68,000. Cherry Hill is considerably denser (20,442 people per square mile versus 2,440), 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 Idaho than in New Jersey, which tends to make destination-side services such as unpacking or storage cheaper than the same services back home.

About 2,253 road miles (1,909 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 39 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 New Jersey into Idaho 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 $3,210 to $4,540 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $3,030 to $4,460. 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–Idaho Falls corridor.
