350 FMCSA-registered movers serving Trenton, NJ — local hourly rates, long-distance cost tables, a calculator and the routes people take out of the city.
With a population of about 90,000 and 350 FMCSA-registered household-goods carriers based in and around the city, Trenton has a deep moving market for both local and long-distance work.
Local moves inside Trenton are quoted by the hour: expect around $150 per hour for two movers and a truck, $200 for three, and $255 for a four-person crew, usually with a two- or three-hour minimum plus a travel fee. 279 of the local carriers hold interstate authority, and 229 report operating beyond 100 miles, so long-distance capacity is plentiful.
Trenton is a dense city (11,947 people per square mile), which shapes how moves work: parking permits, elevator reservations, narrow streets and walk-ups add time, and many companies quote a shuttle or long-carry fee when a truck cannot park at the door.
Ranges cover a full-service crew (loading, transport, unloading). Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items are extra; the calculator below adds them.
