Reverse: Morristown → Lakewood

Morristown sits about 60 miles north of Lakewood, so this is an in-state move that most movers classify as a short-haul move.

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 1 h 44 min counted as billable travel time. A typical two-bedroom household lands between $1,490 and $2,220, before packing or storage.

On the Lakewood side there are 171 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (91 of them authorized for interstate work), and 168 around Morristown (119 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 Morristown.

Lakewood has a population of about 143,765 and Morristown about 20,000. The two cities have comparable density (5,472 and 7,008 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends.

Tips for this move

For a move under about 150 miles you can often choose between an hourly and a flat rate—ask for both.
Confirm whether travel time between Lakewood and Morristown is billed one way or round trip.
A single-day move is realistic here; schedule loading in the morning so the crew arrives in Morristown with daylight to spare.
Check New Jersey intrastate mover rules; many states require a state permit in addition to a USDOT number.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to move from Lakewood to Morristown?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $830 to $1,230 for a studio, $950 to $1,410 for a one-bedroom, $1,490 to $2,220 for a two-bedroom, $2,270 to $3,370 for a three-bedroom and $3,340 to $4,970 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Morristown from Lakewood?

About 60 road miles (51 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 1 h 44 min.

How long will the movers take to deliver?

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.

Do I need an interstate-licensed mover for an in-state move?

No. Because both Lakewood and Morristown 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.

Is it cheaper to rent a truck or use a container for Lakewood to Morristown?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $210 to $300 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,070 to $1,580. 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.

When is the least expensive time to book this move?

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 Lakewood–Morristown corridor.
