The route
A genuine long haul at 2,281 miles from Utah to New Jersey. Almost all of these move as consolidated freight: your goods share a trailer and the carrier quotes 7 to 14 days rather than a date. It is why a two-bedroom home here runs $10,265 – $13,686 instead of scaling straight with distance, and also why there is more handling and a looser schedule.

Worked example: a two-bedroom home, Ogden to Newark
2,281 miles × 2.0 (two-bedroom size multiplier) × $2.50 (full-service rate) = $11,405. The range runs 10% under that to 20% over: $10,265 to $13,686, transport only. Every parameter is on the methodology page; moving cost per mile explains why the rate falls with distance.
How many people move from Ogden to Newark
The county-to-county table of the Census Bureau's American Community Survey (2016–2020) has no estimate for Weber County, UT to Essex County, NJ, but the wider metro table does: about 25 people a year (±36) moved from the Ogden-Clearfield, UT metro area to the New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ-PA metro area. The margin of error is as large as the estimate, so read it as a handful of households rather than a count. The other way: about 123 people a year (±115).
At state level, the 2024 survey counts about 158 people a year (±154) moving from Utah to New Jersey and about 1,093 people a year (±860) from New Jersey to Utah — a net gain for Utah of about 935 people a year.

How these figures are calculated
At the Newark end
For a local crew after delivery, the largest licensed carriers within 30 miles of Newark: Piece of Cake Moving (New York City, 340 trucks), Roadway Moving (New York City, 190 trucks), Budd Van Lines Inc (Somerset, 124 trucks), Great Moving Inc (Staten Island, 70 trucks).
Rules that apply to this move
Because the truck crosses from Utah into New Jersey, 49 CFR Part 375 applies: a written estimate before loading, no more than 110% of a non-binding estimate collected at delivery, and full-value protection unless you choose released value in writing. See binding vs non-binding estimates and valuation explained.
Before you book Ogden to Newark
Insist on a survey
Over 2,281 miles the price is driven almost entirely by weight. A quote given without a video or in-home survey is a guess that gets revised upward on loading day, and at this distance the revision is expensive.
Keep full-value protection
It is the default on an interstate move. Signing it away for released value means 60 cents per pound, about $18 for a 30 lb television, after 2,281 miles of handling.
Arriving in Newark
A local move inside Newark later — across town, out of temporary housing — is billed by the hour: about $465 – $761 for a two-bedroom home and $777 – $1,398 for three bedrooms. The nearest cities we cover from Newark are Jersey City (about 8 mi), New York City (about 10 mi), Paterson (about 15 mi).
