Jersey City, NJ → Logan, UT · Cross-country move
About 2,299 road miles heading west. Typical two-bedroom cost $7,730–$11,500, delivery in 7–14 days, 2,933 carriers on the Jersey City side and 57 in Logan.
Moving from Jersey City to Logan is a cross-country move of roughly 2,299 road miles, heading west from New Jersey to Utah.
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 $7,730 to $11,500 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 7 to 14 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 40 hours (5 driving days).
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 57 around Logan (41 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 Logan.
Jersey City has a population of about 302,013 and Logan about 55,000. Jersey City is considerably denser (19,894 people per square mile versus 2,924), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination. Labor and living costs run lower in Utah than in New Jersey, which tends to make destination-side services such as unpacking or storage cheaper than the same services back home.

About 2,299 road miles (1,949 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 40 hours (5 driving days).
Expect a delivery window of 7 to 14 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 Utah 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 $3,260 to $4,610 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $3,070 to $4,520. 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 Jersey City–Logan corridor.
