Morristown mixes downtown apartment buildings near the Green with streets of houses a few minutes away. A move into either one goes smoothly when the parking and the building rules are settled early.
Holding space for the truck downtown
On busy downtown streets, the truck needs a legal spot close to the door. Morristown has its own Parking Authority (Town of Morristown (official site; Parking Authority listed)). Contact the town or the Parking Authority a few weeks ahead and ask how to hold curb space for a moving truck on your block, so you have the answer in writing before moving day.
Apartment buildings
- Ask management for move hours and the loading area.
- Reserve the elevator if there is one.
- Ask for the sample certificate of insurance (COI) and send it to us a week ahead. We send the certificate the building asks for.
Houses
- Tell us about the driveway and how close the truck can park.
- Walk the basement, attic and garage before the estimate.
- If the closing and your old lease do not line up, ask about a move with storage.
Coming from New York City
A move from New York to Morristown crosses a state line, so federal rules apply. The truck crosses by tunnel or by the George Washington Bridge; the Port Authority collects its tolls only when entering New York, so the trip toward New Jersey has no Port Authority toll (Port Authority Truckers Guide (rates effective Jan 4, 2026)).
This move crosses a state line, so federal rules apply. A & A Alliance Moving Inc, a family business since 1999, holds U.S. DOT No. 967970 and MC-432549 for moves between states, plus NJPM 000930 and NYSDOT 34875. You can look up our record on the FMCSA website, and the federal guides Ready to Move? and Your Rights and Responsibilities When You Move explain your rights on an interstate move.
After you arrive, New Jersey gives new residents 60 days to transfer a driver license and vehicle registration, or until the old license expires if that is sooner (NJ MVC).
Moving within New Jersey
A move that stays inside New Jersey is an in-state move. State law requires movers who do moves within New Jersey to be licensed by the Division of Consumer Affairs, and you can check any mover’s license by calling the Division at (800) 242-5846 (NJ Attorney General / Division of Consumer Affairs on licensed intrastate movers). A & A Alliance Moving Inc, a family business since 1999, holds NJPM 000930 for New Jersey moves, NYSDOT 34875 for New York moves, and U.S. DOT No. 967970 / MC-432549 for moves between states.
