Jacksonville, FL → Toms River, NJ · Long-distance move
About 931 road miles heading northeast. Typical two-bedroom cost $4,830–$7,190, delivery in 2–5 days, 745 carriers on the Jacksonville side and 114 in Toms River.
Moving from Jacksonville to Toms River is a long-distance move of roughly 931 road miles, heading northeast from Florida 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 $4,830 to $7,190 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 16 h 45 min.
On the Jacksonville side there are 745 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (398 of them authorized for interstate work), and 114 around Toms River (61 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 Toms River.
Jacksonville has a population of about 1 million and Toms River about 100,899. Toms River is the denser city (2,356 people per square mile versus 1,271 in Jacksonville), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. New Jersey is a higher-cost state than Florida, 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 Florida, so factor that into the cost-of-living comparison.

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 Florida 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 $1,410 to $1,990 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,850 to $2,720. 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 Jacksonville–Toms River corridor.
