Moving from Galveston to Jersey City is a cross-country move of roughly 1,676 road miles, heading northeast from Texas to New Jersey.
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 $6,540 to $9,730 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 5 to 10 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 29 hours (4 driving days).
On the Galveston side there are 37 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (17 of them authorized for interstate work), and 2,933 around Jersey City (1,570 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 Jersey City.
Galveston has a population of about 53,000 and Jersey City about 302,013. Jersey City is the denser city (19,894 people per square mile versus 1,308 in Galveston), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. New Jersey is a higher-cost state than Texas, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses. Note that New Jersey does collect a state income tax, unlike Texas, so factor that into the cost-of-living comparison.
