Woodbridge, NJ → Philadelphia, PA · Short-haul move
About 69 road miles heading southwest. Typical two-bedroom cost $1,440–$2,140, delivery in 1–2 days, 812 carriers on the Woodbridge side and 1,658 in Philadelphia.
The route from Woodbridge, NJ to Philadelphia, PA covers roughly 69 miles by road, a southwest-bound trip that falls into the short-haul move category for pricing purposes.
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 1 h 53 min counted as billable travel time. A typical two-bedroom household lands between $1,440 and $2,140, before packing or storage.
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 1,658 around Philadelphia (1,138 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 Philadelphia.
Woodbridge has a population of about 104,802 and Philadelphia about 1.6 million. Philadelphia is the denser city (11,933 people per square mile versus 4,448 in Woodbridge), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. Labor and living costs run lower in Pennsylvania than in New Jersey, which tends to make destination-side services such as unpacking or storage cheaper than the same services back home.

About 69 road miles (58 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 1 h 53 min.
For a move this short, loading and delivery normally happen on the same day. Most crews finish a two-bedroom home in 5 to 8 hours plus the drive.
Yes. Crossing from New Jersey into Pennsylvania 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 $220 to $310 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,080 to $1,590. 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–Philadelphia corridor.
