Moving from Silver Spring to Cherry Hill is a short-haul move of roughly 148 road miles, heading northeast from Maryland to New Jersey.
Because the two cities are close together, most companies quote this move by the hour: a crew of two to four movers plus a truck, with the drive of about 3 h 15 min counted as billable travel time. A typical two-bedroom household lands between $2,380 and $3,540, before packing or storage.
On the Silver Spring side there are 813 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (494 of them authorized for interstate work), and 838 around Cherry Hill (563 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 Cherry Hill.
Silver Spring has a population of about 82,000 and Cherry Hill about 74,000. Cherry Hill is the denser city (20,442 people per square mile versus 10,277 in Silver Spring), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day.

About 148 road miles (125 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 3 h 15 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 $300 to $430 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,150 to $1,690. 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 Silver Spring–Cherry Hill corridor.
