Stamford, CT → Cherry Hill, NJ · Short-haul move
About 130 road miles heading southwest. Typical two-bedroom cost $2,320–$3,460, delivery in 1–2 days, 135 carriers on the Stamford side and 838 in Cherry Hill.
Cherry Hill sits about 130 miles southwest of Stamford, which makes this an interstate relocation from Connecticut to New Jersey that most movers classify as a short-haul move.
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 2 h 57 min counted as billable travel time. A typical two-bedroom household lands between $2,320 and $3,460, before packing or storage.
On the Stamford side there are 135 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (92 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.
Stamford has a population of about 139,535 and Cherry Hill about 74,000. Cherry Hill is the denser city (20,442 people per square mile versus 3,603 in Stamford), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day.

About 130 road miles (110 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 2 h 57 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 Connecticut 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 $280 to $400 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,140 to $1,670. 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 Stamford–Cherry Hill corridor.
