Moving from New Jersey to Michigan
Moving from New Jersey to Michigan puts your household under federal moving rules and, more importantly, under whichever company you hand it to. We are a family-owned carrier in Wyckoff — USDOT 821492, our own interstate authority, MC-364519 — and this page is the honest version of how a Michigan move works.
Michigan sits a solid haul from Bergen County: about 470 miles to Detroit, before the roads add their share. Moves this size live or die on the survey and the written plan, which is exactly where ours start.

What can't go on the truck to Michigan?
Flammables, pressurized tanks, perishables, and plants on a long haul; irreplaceables ride with you. The non-allowables page has the full list and what to do instead.
