This is the final part of our Alpha Moving and Storage guide for moving long distance from New Jersey. If you are interested to learn how long distance moves are charged and transported and how to reduce your moving costs, check out parts one and two of this guide. In part three, we will discuss the importance of selecting a local moving company that has its main headquarters in New Jersey as your long distance service provider.
Why is it Important to have a New Jersey Based Company as your Long Distance Mover
Every simple Google search will give you results for dozens, sometimes hundreds of moving companies. Many of those companies advertise nationwide and do not have a local headquarters in New Jersey. Many others are brokers who sub-contract your long distance move to actual movers, of which you have no information.
The best way to go is to select a local company for your long distance move. Such a company will be able to perform your long distance pick up at a set, guaranteed time, provide storage services in its local storage facility and send more movers and assistance at a moments notice.
Making Sure you are dealing with a Local New Jersey Company
The first thing you should do in order to make sure you are dealing with an actual, local New Jersey company is to ask for the physical address. Make sure the address you receive is not a post office box, or a self-storage facility. A respectable, local company will allow you to visit its local headquarters, offices and storage facility. Once you have established the fact that you are dealing with an actual local company, check its reputation by visiting the Better Business Bureau website, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration website and asking for references.

My husband and I have used Alpha for two moves—once from Manhattan to Jersey City and more recently from Jersey City to the Jersey Shore.
The first move … More was during Covid, but Alpha was super diligent and professional. The second move was on an incredibly hot and humid day, and our movers still worked so hard and fast.
For our second move, we also had to put our items in storage for a few weeks. Alpha made this super easy and had a thorough system for taking inventory of all our furniture and boxes.
I can't say enough about how great Alpha is. We would use them again and recommend them to anyone. Their office employees are very responsive and helpful, and the movers are extremely skilled and professional.
I've also found their prices to be much more reasonable than other companies in the area.
