Moving from Jersey City to Cherry Hill is a short-haul move of roughly 86 road miles, heading southwest within New Jersey.
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 2 h 11 min counted as billable travel time. A typical two-bedroom household lands between $1,640 and $2,430, before packing or storage.
On the Jersey City side there are 2,933 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (1,570 of them authorized for interstate work), and 838 around Cherry Hill (563 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 Cherry Hill.
Jersey City has a population of about 302,013 and Cherry Hill about 74,000. The two cities have comparable density (19,894 and 20,442 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends.

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 Jersey City and Cherry Hill 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 $240 to $340 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,100 to $1,610. 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 Jersey City–Cherry Hill corridor.
