Cherry Hill, NJ → Melbourne, FL · Long-distance move
About 1,037 road miles heading southwest. Typical two-bedroom cost $5,120–$7,610, delivery in 3–7 days, 838 carriers on the Cherry Hill side and 110 in Melbourne.
Moving from Cherry Hill to Melbourne is a long-distance move of roughly 1,037 road miles, heading southwest from New Jersey to Florida.
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 $5,120 to $7,610 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 3 to 7 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 18 h 35 min.
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 110 around Melbourne (44 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 Melbourne.
Cherry Hill has a population of about 74,000 and Melbourne about 86,000. Cherry Hill is considerably denser (20,442 people per square mile versus 1,916), 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 Florida than in New Jersey, which tends to make destination-side services such as unpacking or storage cheaper than the same services back home. Florida levies no state income tax on wages, a frequent reason people make this exact move.

About 1,037 road miles (878 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 18 h 35 min.
Expect a delivery window of 3 to 7 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 Florida 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 $1,520 to $2,140 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,950 to $2,860. 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–Melbourne corridor.
