Morgantown, WV → Atlantic City, NJ · Regional long-distance move
About 346 road miles heading east. Typical two-bedroom cost $2,900–$4,310, delivery in 1–3 days, 67 carriers on the Morgantown side and 81 in Atlantic City.
Atlantic City sits about 346 miles east of Morgantown, which makes this an interstate relocation from West Virginia to New Jersey that most movers classify as a regional long-distance 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 $2,900 to $4,310 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 1 to 3 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 6 h 40 min.
On the Morgantown side there are 67 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (49 of them authorized for interstate work), and 81 around Atlantic City (50 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 Atlantic City.
Morgantown has a population of about 30,000 and Atlantic City about 38,000. The two cities have comparable density (2,981 and 3,578 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends. New Jersey is a higher-cost state than West Virginia, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses.

About 346 road miles (293 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 6 h 40 min.
Expect a delivery window of 1 to 3 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 West Virginia 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 $510 to $710 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,330 to $1,950. 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 Morgantown–Atlantic City corridor.
