Tampa, FL → Cherry Hill, NJ · Long-distance move
About 1,098 road miles heading northeast. Typical two-bedroom cost $5,280–$7,850, delivery in 3–7 days, 1,059 carriers on the Tampa side and 838 in Cherry Hill.
Cherry Hill sits about 1,098 miles northeast of Tampa, which makes this an interstate relocation from Florida to New Jersey that most movers classify as a 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 $5,280 to $7,850 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 3 to 7 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 19 h 38 min.
On the Tampa side there are 1,059 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (368 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.
Tampa has a population of about 413,554 and Cherry Hill about 74,000. Cherry Hill is the denser city (20,442 people per square mile versus 3,377 in Tampa), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. New Jersey is a higher-cost state than Florida, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses. Note that New Jersey does collect a state income tax, unlike Florida, so factor that into the cost-of-living comparison.

About 1,098 road miles (930 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 19 h 38 min.
Expect a delivery window of 3 to 7 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 Florida 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 $1,580 to $2,230 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,000 to $2,940. 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 Tampa–Cherry Hill corridor.
