About 19 road miles heading northeast. Typical two-bedroom cost $1,310–$1,940, delivery in 0–1 days, 2,364 carriers on the Hoboken side and 2,152 in Yonkers.
Moving from Hoboken to Yonkers is a local move of roughly 19 road miles, heading northeast from New Jersey to New York.
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 36 min counted as billable travel time. A typical two-bedroom household lands between $1,310 and $1,940, 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 2,152 around Yonkers (1,091 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 Yonkers.
Hoboken has a population of about 60,000 and Yonkers about 212,603. Hoboken is considerably denser (48,335 people per square mile versus 11,754), 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.
Yes. Crossing from New Jersey into New York 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 $170 to $240 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,040 to $1,520. 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–Yonkers corridor.
