Suffolk, VA → Morristown, NJ · Regional long-distance move
About 361 road miles heading north. Typical two-bedroom cost $3,170–$4,710, delivery in 1–3 days, 101 carriers on the Suffolk side and 168 in Morristown.
Morristown sits about 361 miles north of Suffolk, which makes this an interstate relocation from Virginia to New Jersey that most movers classify as a regional long-distance move.
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 $3,170 to $4,710 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 1 to 3 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 6 h 55 min.
On the Suffolk side there are 101 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (62 of them authorized for interstate work), and 168 around Morristown (119 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 Morristown.
Suffolk has a population of about 104,699 and Morristown about 20,000. Morristown is the denser city (7,008 people per square mile versus 236 in Suffolk), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. New Jersey is a higher-cost state than Virginia, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses.

About 361 road miles (306 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 6 h 55 min.
Expect a delivery window of 1 to 3 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 Virginia 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 $520 to $740 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,340 to $1,970. 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 Suffolk–Morristown corridor.
