Flint, MI → Hoboken, NJ · Long-distance move
About 615 road miles heading east. Typical two-bedroom cost $3,890–$5,780, delivery in 2–5 days, 142 carriers on the Flint side and 2,364 in Hoboken.
The route from Flint, MI to Hoboken, NJ covers roughly 615 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 $3,890 to $5,780 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 11 h 18 min.
On the Flint side there are 142 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (39 of them authorized for interstate work), and 2,364 around Hoboken (1,242 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 Hoboken.
Flint has a population of about 79,000 and Hoboken about 60,000. Hoboken is the denser city (48,335 people per square mile versus 2,430 in Flint), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. New Jersey is a higher-cost state than Michigan, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses.

About 615 road miles (521 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 11 h 18 min.
Expect a delivery window of 2 to 5 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 Michigan 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 $930 to $1,320 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,570 to $2,310. 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 Flint–Hoboken corridor.
