Moving Between Bergen County and Pennsylvania or Delaware
Bergen County is seventy towns packed between the Hudson and the Ramapo Mountains: high-rise co-ops in Fort Lee and Cliffside Park at the George Washington Bridge, older homes in Englewood and Teaneck, the shopping corridors of Paramus along Route 4 and Route 17, and larger homes in Ridgewood, Saddle River, and Mahwah to the north. The drive south from here is long, and when the truck leaves can make an hour's difference by the time it reaches Pennsylvania or Delaware.
Simple Moving Solutions focuses on Bergen County moves that cross state lines, between the county and Philadelphia, the Main Line, Chester County, and Delaware. Our Wilmington headquarters is a little over two hours away, so we plan Bergen County moves as full-day jobs. We hold USDOT 4531853 and MC 1797073 for interstate moves. See also our Hackensack page.

The drive south can take two hours or close to three, depending on when the truck pulls out. Slide the departure time to see the difference.
On weekdays, a truck that leaves Bergen County before about 7 AM or between 10 AM and 2 PM avoids the worst of the Turnpike and Route 17 rush. Leaving between 7 and 9 AM can add 45 minutes or more. Saturdays are usually lighter but busier around midday.
Typical traffic patterns, not live conditions. Nothing you enter here is sent or saved.
Moving Out of Bergen County
From the GWB high-rises to the northern towns, each part of Bergen County moves differently. Pick yours.

High-rise co-ops and condos near the George Washington Bridge and the Palisades.
Board approvals, freight elevators, certificates of insurance, and GWB traffic.
Englewood and Teaneck
Older single-family homes, apartments, and tree-lined streets in eastern Bergen County.
Heavy older furniture and narrow residential streets.
Paramus and the Route 4 and 17 corridor
Suburban homes and apartments around the shopping corridors.
Heavy weekday and Saturday traffic; Sunday is quieter but we do not move on Sundays.
Ridgewood and Glen Rock
Walkable towns with large older homes and colonials near the train.
Bigger homes, long driveways, and narrow village streets.
Northern Bergen
Saddle River, Upper Saddle River, Ramsey, and Mahwah, with large homes on bigger lots.
Long driveways and big loads; we confirm truck access ahead of time.
When to Move From Bergen County
Departure time, GWB traffic, and co-op rules all shape a Bergen County moving day. Here is what we plan around.
Departure time
Weekday rush on Route 17, Route 4, and the Turnpike adds 45 minutes or more. We time departure to miss it.
GWB and Turnpike traffic
George Washington Bridge and Turnpike backups can ripple through southern Bergen. Early or late-morning departures help.
Co-op move windows
Fort Lee and Cliffside Park buildings set move days and hours, and some need board approval. Start early.
Holiday weekends
Thanksgiving and summer holiday weekends are the heaviest on the Turnpike south. We avoid them.
Summer peak
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.
