Pro tip for the cheapest long distance move

Find long distance movers in New Jersey that already have a booked job heading from New Jersey to DC. Their moving truck would be making the trip back to New Jersey from DC entirely empty. If you can find a New Jersey moving company willing to move your stuff on the return leg, you'll score a real deal!

Moving Containers: A cheaper DC to New Jersey moving option

Hire local DC movers for the pickup location at an hourly rate. They can quickly load your moving container. When your container is dropped off at your new home, hire New Jersey movers to unpack the container and move you into your new home. You'll have to piece this DC to New Jersey move together yourself with at least 3 different companies. Taking on this scheduling responsibility will save you a little money by moving with this strategy.

How we ranked the top DC to New Jersey movers

Why you should trust us

We take reviews seriously to protect people just like you! Our team has been crunching data on moving companies since 2010. Our math-based ranking system uses data, manual review, and statistical analysis to help you hire the best DC to New Jersey long distance movers.

Rating Methodology

Here's the methodology we used to come up with the best movers for the DC to New Jersey moving route:

$Our data scientist working on the years of experience formula$

Our original review-based ranking algorithm

We started with a total of 152 companies that offer interstate moving services in both the DC and New Jersey areas.

From these 152 companies, we analyzed a total of 39,701 reviews dating all the way back to August 2007.

We also reviewed a total of 66 state and federal moving licenses from these 152 companies and 663 different 3rd party review and social profiles.

Each of the ~39,000 reviews was scored according to our detailed 11-point rating criteria

Reviews are time-weighted so that more recent reviews carry more weight. This helps you understand how a mover is doing today... not 5 years ago. We have 10,804 DC to New Jersey moving company data points from the past 2 years that carry more weight.

Bayesian averages calculated to fairly account for the differences between companies that are newer(like Cimply Labor, LLC) vs older more established companies (like Bookstore Movers).
