Juneau, AK → Newark, NJ · Cross-country move
About 3,357 road miles heading east. Typical two-bedroom cost $10,330–$15,370, delivery in 7–14 days, 7 carriers on the Juneau side and 2,782 in Newark.
Newark sits about 3,357 miles east of Juneau, which makes this an interstate relocation from Alaska to New Jersey that most movers classify as a cross-country move.
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 $10,330 to $15,370 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 58 hours (7 driving days).
On the Juneau side there are 7 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (1 of them authorized for interstate work), and 2,782 around Newark (1,591 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 Newark.
Juneau has a population of about 32,000 and Newark about 323,808. Newark is the denser city (12,927 people per square mile versus 12 in Juneau), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. Note that New Jersey does collect a state income tax, unlike Alaska, so factor that into the cost-of-living comparison.

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $4,130 to $6,150 for a studio, $6,200 to $9,220 for a one-bedroom, $10,330 to $15,370 for a two-bedroom, $16,530 to $24,600 for a three-bedroom and $22,730 to $33,820 for four or more bedrooms.

About 3,357 road miles (2,845 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 58 hours (7 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 Alaska 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 $4,650 to $6,560 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $4,020 to $5,910. 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 Juneau–Newark corridor.
