Springfield, MA → Lakewood, NJ · Regional long-distance move
About 194 road miles heading southwest. Typical two-bedroom cost $2,680–$3,980, delivery in 1–2 days, 213 carriers on the Springfield side and 171 in Lakewood.
Moving from Springfield to Lakewood is a regional long-distance move of roughly 194 road miles, heading southwest from Massachusetts 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 $2,680 to $3,980 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 3 min.
On the Springfield side there are 213 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (155 of them authorized for interstate work), and 171 around Lakewood (91 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 Lakewood.
Springfield has a population of about 154,702 and Lakewood about 143,765. The two cities have comparable density (4,888 and 5,472 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends.

About 194 road miles (165 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 4 h 3 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 Massachusetts 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 $350 to $490 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,190 to $1,750. 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 Springfield–Lakewood corridor.
