The route from Springfield, IL to Jersey City, NJ covers roughly 971 miles by road, a east-bound trip that falls into the long-distance move category for pricing purposes.
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 $5,010 to $7,450 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 2 to 5 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 17 h 27 min.
On the Springfield side there are 58 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (45 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.
Springfield has a population of about 112,989 and Jersey City about 302,013. Jersey City is the denser city (19,894 people per square mile versus 1,872 in Springfield), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. New Jersey is a higher-cost state than Illinois, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses.
