Oklahoma City, OK → Newark, NJ · Cross-country move
About 1,553 road miles heading northeast. Typical two-bedroom cost $6,150–$9,160, delivery in 5–10 days, 379 carriers on the Oklahoma City side and 2,782 in Newark.
Newark sits about 1,553 miles northeast of Oklahoma City, which makes this an interstate relocation from Oklahoma to New Jersey 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 $6,150 to $9,160 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 5 to 10 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 27 hours (4 driving days).
On the Oklahoma City side there are 379 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (186 of them authorized for interstate work), and 2,782 around Newark (1,591 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 Newark.
Oklahoma City has a population of about 719,849 and Newark about 323,808. Newark is the denser city (12,927 people per square mile versus 1,123 in Oklahoma City), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. New Jersey is a higher-cost state than Oklahoma, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses.

About 1,553 road miles (1,316 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 27 hours (4 driving days).
Expect a delivery window of 5 to 10 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 Oklahoma 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 $2,200 to $3,100 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,410 to $3,540. 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 Oklahoma City–Newark corridor.
