Distance is the lever. At the near end of the set below, North Carolina is about 482 miles — a single long day at roughly 9 hr with stops — with a 2–4-day delivery window on the shipment itself. Everything further out stretches both numbers, which is why a single average cost for "an interstate move" tells you nothing.

What shapes an outbound move from Phillipsburg
Phillipsburg is the largest of 3 places in Warren County — about 14% of everyone in the county, so it is where van-line agents concentrate their crews and where an outbound survey is easiest to schedule at short notice.
Warren County sits on the New Jersey state line, bordering Pennsylvania. That matters more than it sounds: a move of twenty minutes across that line is legally an interstate move, so it needs a carrier with federal household-goods authority and it is priced on weight and distance rather than by the hour. Short interstate hops are the moves people most often assume are local, and they are not.
Statewide, Phillipsburg sits 62nd of the 193 places the Census records in New Jersey. Smaller origins are almost always served by a trailer already routed through the region, which is why lead time buys more here than carrier shopping does.
The Warren County places closest to Phillipsburg in size — Hackettstown and Washington — book outbound moves the same way it does, Hackettstown sitting just under it at about 10,125. If your date can flex a day either way, an outbound load from a place this size usually rides with a shipment already scheduled nearby rather than getting a trailer of its own.
Warren County has added about 1.6% more residents since 2020, roughly 1,732 people. Steady inbound growth keeps agents busy without saturating them, so outbound dates are generally obtainable with three or four weeks' notice outside the summer peak.
Warren County is the 19th-largest of New Jersey's 21 counties, with about 1% of the state's residents. Outbound loads from counties this size are usually picked up by a carrier routed through the area, so a flexible load date is worth more here than it is in the state's biggest metro.
The largest county bordering Warren County is Bucks County (645,984 residents) — and it is in Pennsylvania, not New Jersey. A move between the two is interstate by definition, so it needs a carrier with federal household-goods authority no matter how short the drive is.
How far Phillipsburg is from where people move

Licensing
Is your move out of Phillipsburg interstate?
A move that starts and ends inside New Jersey is an intrastate move, governed by New Jersey law rather than by the FMCSA. Different licence, different complaint process, and usually different pricing — intrastate work is commonly billed hourly while interstate work is billed on weight and distance. Verify a mover's state authority with the New Jersey agency that oversees motor carriers before you book, and do not assume a USDOT number alone covers an in-state move.
The moment your shipment crosses the New Jersey state line it is an interstate move under federal law. The carrier must hold active FMCSA operating authority — a USDOT number plus household-goods authority — must give you the federal "Your Rights and Responsibilities When You Move" booklet, and must price the move against a published tariff rather than an hourly rate. You can check any USDOT number yourself on the FMCSA SAFER system before you sign anything.

Moving from Phillipsburg: common questions
North Carolina is about 482 miles, Georgia is about 836 miles, and Florida is about 1,070 miles.

A loaded interstate shipment on the shortest of those delivers in a 2–4-day window.
