Lincoln, NE → Toms River, NJ · Long-distance move
About 1,394 road miles heading east. Typical two-bedroom cost $5,880–$8,750, delivery in 3–7 days, 160 carriers on the Lincoln side and 114 in Toms River.
Moving from Lincoln to Toms River is a long-distance move of roughly 1,394 road miles, heading east from Nebraska 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 $5,880 to $8,750 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 3 to 7 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 24 hours (3 driving days).
On the Lincoln side there are 160 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (83 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.
Lincoln has a population of about 301,522 and Toms River about 100,899. The two cities have comparable density (2,979 and 2,356 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends. New Jersey is a higher-cost state than Nebraska, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses.

About 1,394 road miles (1,181 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 24 hours (3 driving days).
Expect a delivery window of 3 to 7 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 Nebraska 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 $2,030 to $2,870 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,260 to $3,330. 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 Lincoln–Toms River corridor.
