The Route
How Cars Get From Arkansas to New Jersey
Most carriers take I-40 east to Knoxville and I-81 northeast to Harrisburg. North Jersey loads then follow I-78 through Allentown into Newark. South Jersey loads take the Pennsylvania Turnpike toward Philadelphia and cross the Delaware River.
Shore towns are down the Garden State Parkway and the Atlantic City Expressway. Hudson County and parts of Newark have tight streets and limited truck parking, so a nearby meeting spot is common there.
Along the Way
- Little Rock → Memphis~135 mi
- Memphis → Nashville~210 mi
- Nashville → Knoxville~180 mi
- Knoxville → Harrisburg~470 mi
- Harrisburg → Newark~160 mi
Approximate distances. The exact route depends on the carrier's other stops.
Timing
When to Ship Arkansas to New Jersey
PCS moves and Shore season shape this route.
Summer PCS Season
May through August is the peak for McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst moves. Book as soon as you have orders.
Shore Season
Memorial Day through Labor Day, Shore towns are packed. Weekday deliveries go much smoother.
Winter
Snow on I-81 and nor'easters on the coast can slow trucks from December through March.
Spring & Fall
Usually the easiest time to ship.
Pricing
How Much Does It Cost to Ship a Car From Arkansas to New Jersey?
Here's what moves the price on this route.
Distance
South Jersey is about 1,100 miles from Little Rock. North Jersey and the Shore are closer to 1,175.
City vs. Suburb
Suburban driveways are simple. Jersey City, Hoboken, and dense Newark streets usually need a nearby meeting spot.
Season
Summer PCS and Shore season raise demand. Spring and fall are usually the best value.
Open or Enclosed
Open is the standard. Enclosed keeps a nicer car protected in Northeast weather.
Vehicle Size
Pickups and full-size SUVs take more trailer space than sedans, so they cost more to ship.
Date Flexibility
A flexible pickup window helps us catch a truck already headed northeast.

Before You Ship & After You Arrive
A few New Jersey-specific things worth knowing.
Registering in New Jersey
New residents have 60 days to title and register with the NJ MVC. Most gas cars need an emissions inspection, though newer vehicles are usually exempt for their first few years. Check nj.gov/mvc for current requirements.
Moving With the Military
We ship for airmen, soldiers, and families moving from Little Rock AFB and other bases to Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst.
Hudson County Deliveries
Narrow streets and permit parking in Jersey City and Hoboken make door delivery tough. The driver will coordinate a nearby lot.
Arkansas Pickups
Base housing and gated neighborhoods often have truck rules. Share them, or a nearby meeting spot, when you book.

Is my car insured during transport?

Do I have to pay upfront?
No. There's $0 due at booking. Once a carrier is assigned, you can pay a deposit and the balance to the driver at delivery by cash or check, or pay in full at that point.
