As of 2026-11-09. RideShipper estimate, updated 2026-11-09, based on 3,588 prices that customers reported paying in MoveAdvisor reviews, adjusted for U.S. diesel at $6.13 a gallon for that week (U.S. Energy Information Administration). In testing, the typical difference between an estimate and a reported price was about 20% of the estimate. This is an estimate, not a quote: the carrier sets the price. No pickup date was supplied, so this estimate uses November 2026. There is no seasonal direction adjustment for this route and month.
The New York and Pennsylvania lanes are short regional truck hauls. Florida is the long one. The location list names the Port of New York and New Jersey at Newark as the vehicle port for the district, which covers both states. The Port Authority's roll-on/roll-off page is the ocean operation: vehicles are driven on and off a ship. That is a different product from an interstate open trailer. Use it for an overseas or non-contiguous move, not for a truck to Pennsylvania or New York. A domestic quote is still a highway move.
Where can the trailer actually stop?
Newark, Jersey City, and the older cities have narrow streets, parked cars, and low railroad bridges. A multi-car trailer often cannot reach a rowhouse or a tight apartment lot. Common practice is to meet at a wide commercial lot the driver names. Agree on it before pickup day. Do not send the truck into a garage or a dead-end block. The same limit applies in shore towns in summer, when streets fill and parking rules tighten. Check the town's posted rules for that street.
Bases and campuses
Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst is the joint installation on the list. The list also names Fort Dix, McGuire Air Force Base, Naval Support Activity Lakehurst, and Picatinny Arsenal. Military OneSource says a privately owned vehicle moved inside the contiguous states is largely the member's expense, with exceptions. Confirm the order and the gate with the transportation office. Listed campuses include Rutgers University-New Brunswick and Princeton University. Confirm the campus allows the drop.
When do you register?
The Motor Vehicle Commission says you transfer an out-of-state title and registration within 60 days of the move, or before the current registration expires, whichever comes first. During a public health emergency the vehicle period on that page is 120 days. You need an appointment. You leave with plates and a temporary inspection card. Steps are on the New Jersey registration page.
