Nashua, NH → Morristown, NJ · Regional long-distance move
About 241 road miles heading southwest. Typical two-bedroom cost $2,730–$4,060, delivery in 1–2 days, 112 carriers on the Nashua side and 168 in Morristown.
Moving from Nashua to Morristown is a regional long-distance move of roughly 241 road miles, heading southwest from New Hampshire 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 $2,730 to $4,060 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 51 min.
On the Nashua side there are 112 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (83 of them authorized for interstate work), and 168 around Morristown (119 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 Morristown.
Nashua has a population of about 92,000 and Morristown about 20,000. Morristown is the denser city (7,008 people per square mile versus 2,962 in Nashua), 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 New Hampshire, so factor that into the cost-of-living comparison.

About 241 road miles (205 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 4 h 51 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 Hampshire 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 $400 to $560 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,240 to $1,820. 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 Nashua–Morristown corridor.
