Morristown, NJ → Providence, RI · Regional long-distance move
About 205 road miles heading northeast. Typical two-bedroom cost $2,580–$3,850, delivery in 1–2 days, 168 carriers on the Morristown side and 330 in Providence.
Moving from Morristown to Providence is a regional long-distance move of roughly 205 road miles, heading northeast from New Jersey to Rhode Island.
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 $2,580 to $3,850 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 1 to 2 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 4 h 14 min.
On the Morristown side there are 168 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (119 of them authorized for interstate work), and 330 around Providence (253 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 Providence.
Morristown has a population of about 20,000 and Providence about 195,310. Providence is the denser city (10,377 people per square mile versus 7,008 in Morristown), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day.

About 205 road miles (174 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 4 h 14 min.
Expect a delivery window of 1 to 2 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 Rhode Island 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 $360 to $510 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,200 to $1,770. 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 Morristown–Providence corridor.
