Silver Spring, MD → Newark, NJ · Regional long-distance move
About 227 road miles heading northeast. Typical two-bedroom cost $2,700–$4,010, delivery in 1–2 days, 813 carriers on the Silver Spring side and 2,782 in Newark.
Moving from Silver Spring to Newark is a regional long-distance move of roughly 227 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 $2,700 to $4,010 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 37 min.
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 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.
Silver Spring has a population of about 82,000 and Newark about 323,808. The two cities have comparable density (10,277 and 12,927 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends.

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 $380 to $540 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,220 to $1,800. 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–Newark corridor.
