Woodbridge, NJ → Hayward, CA · Cross-country move
About 2,998 road miles heading west. Typical two-bedroom cost $9,870–$14,690, delivery in 7–14 days, 812 carriers on the Woodbridge side and 754 in Hayward.
Moving from Woodbridge to Hayward is a cross-country move of roughly 2,998 road miles, heading west from New Jersey to California.
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 $9,870 to $14,690 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 7 to 14 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 52 hours (6 driving days).
On the Woodbridge side there are 812 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (558 of them authorized for interstate work), and 754 around Hayward (242 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 Hayward.
Woodbridge has a population of about 104,802 and Hayward about 157,113. The two cities have comparable density (4,448 and 3,558 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends. California is a higher-cost state than New Jersey, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses.

About 2,998 road miles (2,541 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 52 hours (6 driving days).
Expect a delivery window of 7 to 14 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 New Jersey into California 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 $4,130 to $5,830 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $3,700 to $5,430. 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 Woodbridge–Hayward corridor.
