Rockville, MD → Toms River, NJ · Regional long-distance move
About 201 road miles heading northeast. Typical two-bedroom cost $2,590–$3,860, delivery in 1–2 days, 526 carriers on the Rockville side and 114 in Toms River.
Moving from Rockville to Toms River is a regional long-distance move of roughly 201 road miles, heading northeast from Maryland 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 $2,590 to $3,860 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 10 min.
On the Rockville side there are 526 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (327 of them authorized for interstate work), and 114 around Toms River (61 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 Toms River.
Rockville has a population of about 68,000 and Toms River about 100,899. Rockville is considerably denser (4,947 people per square mile versus 2,356), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination.

About 201 road miles (170 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 4 h 10 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 Maryland 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 $360 to $500 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,200 to $1,760. 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 Rockville–Toms River corridor.
