Trusted Movers in Trenton, NJ
Moving Between Trenton and Pennsylvania or Delaware
Trenton sits on the Delaware River with Pennsylvania just across the Calhoun Street and Trenton Makes bridges, and a lot of its moves cross that line. State workers and commuters move between Trenton and Yardley, Morrisville, and the rest of Bucks County; others head to Philadelphia or south toward Delaware. In the city, Mill Hill and Chambersburg are rowhome neighborhoods with steep stairs and street parking, while Hamilton, Ewing, and Lawrence around it have ranches, capes, and colonials with driveways.
Simple Moving Solutions focuses on Trenton moves that cross state lines, between the Trenton area and Philadelphia, Bucks County, and Delaware. We hold USDOT 4531853 and MC 1797073 for interstate moves, and our Wilmington headquarters is about an hour away. Every move comes with an itemized quote and trained, insured crews.

Learn moreWhich Box for What?
On steep rowhome stairs, the right box size matters as much as the right movers. Pick an item to see which box it goes in.
| Item | Box | Tip |
|---|---|---|
| Books, records, and files | Small box (about 1.5 cubic feet) | Heavy items go in small boxes so each one stays liftable on steep stairs. |
| Canned food and pantry jars | Small box | Dense and heavy; keep boxes under about 40 pounds. |
| Dishes and glasses | Dish-pack box with dividers | Plates stand on edge; glasses go in cells, rim down. |
| Kitchen pots, pans, and small appliances | Medium box (about 3 cubic feet) | Fill gaps with dish towels so nothing shifts. |
| Toys, shoes, and bathroom items | Medium box | Mixed medium-weight items; label the room on two sides. |
| Bedding, pillows, and towels | Large box (about 4.5 cubic feet) | Light and bulky items only; never put books in a large box. |
| Lampshades and stuffed animals | Large box | Light and fragile; nothing heavy on top. |
| Hanging clothes | Wardrobe box | Clothes go straight from the closet to the bar, hangers and all. |
| Framed art and mirrors | Mirror or picture box | Corner protectors, tape an X on the glass, and keep it upright. |
| TVs and monitors | TV box or original box | Pad both faces and move it standing, never flat. |
The golden rule: heavy things in small boxes, light things in large boxes. Every box should be easy for one person to carry down a flight of stairs.

The river bridges and Route 1 back up at rush hour with commuters. We plan the crossing around them.
State government calendar
Weekday traffic around the State House and state offices is heavy. Early starts help downtown.
College move weeks
Move-ins and move-outs at the colleges in Ewing and Lawrence fill nearby streets in late August and May.
Back-to-school timing
Families often aim for summer so kids start the year in the new state. Book early.

June through August is peak moving season. Book four to six weeks ahead.
Winter moves
Winter dates are easier to book, and we bring floor protection for snow and slush.
