The route from Hoboken, NJ to Toms River, NJ covers roughly 62 miles by road, a south-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 1 h 46 min counted as billable travel time. A typical two-bedroom household lands between $1,500 and $2,240, 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 114 around Toms River (61 interstate). For an in-state 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 Toms River.
Hoboken has a population of about 60,000 and Toms River about 100,899. Hoboken is considerably denser (48,335 people per square mile versus 2,356), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination.

For a move this short, loading and delivery normally happen on the same day. Most crews finish a two-bedroom home in 5 to 8 hours plus the drive.
No. Because both Hoboken and Toms River are in New Jersey, this is an intrastate move regulated by the state rather than the FMCSA. Still, choosing a carrier with an active USDOT number is the easiest way to confirm the company is a registered motor carrier with insurance on file.
A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $210 to $300 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,080 to $1,580. 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–Toms River corridor.
