“I’ve used OM Van Lines for every move I have done in New Jersey. George and Alex helped me move my aunt to the Masonic Home today, and I cannot say enough fantastic things about their help today. 10/10 would absolutely recommend! Thank you guys so much!”

“I confess that I was stressed and being overwhelmed by the task of selling my home and moving 800 miles away. When Bob Reeves from Sinclair Moving arrived to walk thru and provide an estimate, it was evident that he was a complete professional and extremely knowledgeable. He answered every single…”

“Best service conveyed for the price. This is as best as it can get. Not only did they completed the move before time, but when I query if I left anything in their truck, they found the belonging and came back to drop it off. If this does not show privilege and commitment to the work I do not know…”
What went wrong on this run: of 34 reviews, 44% mention damage and 15% a delay or a no-show. Reviewer-reported, counted by phrase.
Who makes this move
The figures count people who changed states.
Census puts the flow one way. In the 2024 American Community Survey, 6,770 people moved from New Jersey to Georgia, with a margin of plus or minus 2,580. The reverse count was 1,764 people moving from Georgia to New Jersey. The figures count people who changed states.
Price levels differ at each end. BEA regional price parity for 2024 sets the United States at 100. New Jersey reads 108.8 and Georgia reads 96.3. On that scale, a higher figure means a higher price level for the same basket. Both states tax wages, and this page does not quote a rate.
What the job looks like
Those prices mix home sizes and distances.
The common run is a long drive. In our file the most common trip is Jersey City to Atlanta, 877 miles and about 17 hours behind the wheel. This is a long-distance move. Long-distance household goods are priced by weight and miles, and delivery is a window set on the order for service.
The review sample is smaller. This lane has 34 reviews in our file. Median reported price is $4,000 across 34 priced reviews, and the middle half runs from $2,700 to $5,900. Those prices mix home sizes and distances. Read what moves cost if you want the wider national picture.
Damage shows up more than delays. Of these reviews, 44% mention damage and 15% mention a delay or a no-show. With only 34 reviews, a few writeups move those shares a lot. Ask what the crew does when something breaks, and get the delivery window in writing before you pay a deposit.
Before you book
On a non-binding estimate the mover must deliver once you pay 110 percent of the estimate.
Check the carrier before the quote. Interstate household moves need a mover with an active USDOT number and FMCSA household-goods authority. Haulest is not a carrier and does not book the truck. Look the company up in the license lookup and confirm both the number and the household-goods authority are active on the day you sign.
Pin the price type in writing. Long-distance moves are priced by weight and miles. Ask for a binding estimate or a not-to-exceed estimate so the ceiling is clear before you sign. On a non-binding estimate the mover must deliver once you pay 110 percent of the estimate. Read the 110 percent rule before you treat a low number as the final bill.
Get the window and the deposit in writing. The delivery window is set on the order for service, so the written window should appear on the paperwork you keep. Deposit terms should say how much is due, when it is due, and whether it is refundable if you cancel. A handshake and a firm nod will not help if the truck is late.
