Shipping a Car From Mississippi to New Jersey
Jackson to Newark is about 1,175 miles, up I-81 and across Pennsylvania on I-78. Southaven to Newark is around 1,075, Jackson to Cherry Hill about 1,115, Princeton close to 1,135, Morristown roughly 1,165, Hoboken about 1,185, and Toms River around 1,195. Most cars arrive 3 to 4 days after pickup.
Mississippi to New Jersey moves are usually job relocations to North Jersey and the New York suburbs, students at Princeton and Rutgers, and New Jersey snowbirds heading home from the Coast. I-81 and I-78 carry trucks constantly. Dense streets and Shore traffic take the most planning.

The Route
How Cars Get From Mississippi to New Jersey
Carriers take I-59 to Birmingham and on to Knoxville, then I-81 up the Shenandoah Valley to Harrisburg and I-78 east through Allentown into North Jersey and Newark.
Cherry Hill and South Jersey come in on the Pennsylvania Turnpike, Princeton is off US-1, and the Shore towns are reached on the Garden State Parkway. Hoboken and Jersey City streets take the most planning.

- Knoxville → Harrisburg~505 mi

Approximate distances. The exact route depends on the carrier's other stops.
Timing
When to Ship Mississippi to New Jersey
Northeast traffic and the snowbird calendar set the timing.
Mississippi Summer
Summer heat and afternoon storms rarely stop a carrier, but plan to be on hand at pickup so your car isn't sitting in the sun.
Spring Trip Home
March and April fill up with snowbirds leaving the Mississippi Gulf Coast for home. Book two weeks ahead.
Northern Winter
Snow on I-81 and I-78 can slow trucks a day from December through February.
Shore Season
From Memorial Day through Labor Day, the Parkway is packed on weekends. Weekday delivery is easier.
Pricing
How Much Does It Cost to Ship a Car From Mississippi to New Jersey?
Here's what affects price on a Mississippi to New Jersey shipment.

Before You Ship & After You Arrive
What to know before your car heads to New Jersey.
Registering in New Jersey
New residents have 60 days to title and register with the NJ MVC. Most cars need an emissions inspection every two years. Check nj.gov/mvc for current requirements.
Hoboken and Jersey City
Brownstone blocks and permit parking can't fit a carrier. Plan to meet at a lot or on a wider street.
New Jersey Inspection
Most vehicles need an emissions inspection every two years once they're five years old.
DeSoto County and North Mississippi Pickups
Southaven, Olive Branch, Hernando, and Horn Lake are just south of Memphis on I-55 and I-269, which saves time on trips north and east. Oxford and Tupelo are an hour or two off the interstate. Campus weekends in Oxford and newer HOA neighborhoods in DeSoto County usually mean meeting at a lot nearby.
