Hoboken, NJ → Springfield, MA · Short-haul move
About 144 road miles heading northeast. Typical two-bedroom cost $2,470–$3,670, delivery in 1–2 days, 2,364 carriers on the Hoboken side and 213 in Springfield.
The route from Hoboken, NJ to Springfield, MA covers roughly 144 miles by road, a northeast-bound trip that falls into the short-haul move category for pricing purposes.
Because the two cities are close together, most companies quote this move by the hour: a crew of two to four movers plus a truck, with the drive of about 3 h 11 min counted as billable travel time. A typical two-bedroom household lands between $2,470 and $3,670, before packing or storage.
On the Hoboken side there are 2,364 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (1,242 of them authorized for interstate work), and 213 around Springfield (155 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 Springfield.
Hoboken has a population of about 60,000 and Springfield about 154,702. Hoboken is considerably denser (48,335 people per square mile versus 4,888), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination.

About 144 road miles (122 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 3 h 11 min.
Expect a delivery window of 1 to 2 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 Massachusetts 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 $300 to $420 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,150 to $1,690. 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 Hoboken–Springfield corridor.
