Newark, NJ → Provo, UT · Cross-country move
About 2,306 road miles heading west. Typical two-bedroom cost $7,740–$11,520, delivery in 7–14 days, 2,782 carriers on the Newark side and 113 in Provo.
Provo sits about 2,306 miles west of Newark, which makes this an interstate relocation from New Jersey to Utah that most movers classify as a cross-country 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 $7,740 to $11,520 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 7 to 14 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 40 hours (5 driving days).
On the Newark side there are 2,782 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (1,591 of them authorized for interstate work), and 113 around Provo (65 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 Provo.
Newark has a population of about 323,808 and Provo about 114,527. Newark is considerably denser (12,927 people per square mile versus 2,762), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination. Labor and living costs run lower in Utah than in New Jersey, which tends to make destination-side services such as unpacking or storage cheaper than the same services back home.

About 2,306 road miles (1,954 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 40 hours (5 driving days).
Expect a delivery window of 7 to 14 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 Utah 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 $3,270 to $4,620 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $3,080 to $4,530. 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 Newark–Provo corridor.
