Peoria, AZ → Jersey City, NJ · Cross-country move
About 2,524 road miles heading northeast. Typical two-bedroom cost $8,120–$12,070, delivery in 7–14 days, 392 carriers on the Peoria side and 2,933 in Jersey City.
Moving from Peoria to Jersey City is a cross-country move of roughly 2,524 road miles, heading northeast from Arizona 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 $8,120 to $12,070 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 44 hours (5 driving days).
On the Peoria side there are 392 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (187 of them authorized for interstate work), and 2,933 around Jersey City (1,570 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 Jersey City.
Peoria has a population of about 200,881 and Jersey City about 302,013. Jersey City is the denser city (19,894 people per square mile versus 1,085 in Peoria), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. New Jersey is a higher-cost state than Arizona, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses.

About 2,524 road miles (2,139 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 44 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 Arizona 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 $3,490 to $4,930 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $3,270 to $4,810. 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 Peoria–Jersey City corridor.
