Fort Wayne, IN → Morristown, NJ · Long-distance move
About 657 road miles heading east. Typical two-bedroom cost $3,940–$5,860, delivery in 2–5 days, 197 carriers on the Fort Wayne side and 168 in Morristown.
The route from Fort Wayne, IN to Morristown, NJ covers roughly 657 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 $3,940 to $5,860 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 12 h 2 min.
On the Fort Wayne side there are 197 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (147 of them authorized for interstate work), and 168 around Morristown (119 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 Morristown.
Fort Wayne has a population of about 275,203 and Morristown about 20,000. Morristown is the denser city (7,008 people per square mile versus 2,384 in Fort Wayne), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. New Jersey is a higher-cost state than Indiana, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses.

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 Indiana 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 $970 to $1,380 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,610 to $2,360. 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 Fort Wayne–Morristown corridor.
