Moving from Manhattan to Hoboken? Book the curb in Hoboken first. Hoboken reserves street space for moving trucks with Temporary No Parking (TNP) signs from the Hoboken Parking Utility. For a move, the city says to order them online through HPU Online at least ten days ahead; each sign covers about 15 feet and every order needs at least two signs (City of Hoboken). Two Guys And a Truck NYC moves apartments from all over Manhattan to Hoboken. Call (646) 455-1930.
Your Hoboken checklist
- Order the TNP signs online about two weeks before your date (at least ten days).
- Order the signs for the exact block in front of your door, long enough for the truck.
- Ask your Hoboken building about move hours, the elevator and its COI.
Getting across the Hudson
Moving trucks cross by tunnel. The Port Authority allows trucks in the outer tubes of the Lincoln Tunnel (no trucks in the center tube); the Holland Tunnel takes only two- and three-axle single-unit trucks and has the lower height limit (Port Authority truckers guide, 2026). Port Authority tolls are collected only when entering New York, so the trip to Hoboken has no Port Authority toll.
Your Manhattan building
Most apartment buildings want three things before a mover arrives: a booked move time, a reserved service elevator (if there is one) and a certificate of insurance (COI) naming the building. Ask management for their sample COI and send it to us a week before; we send the COI your building asks for.
Licensed for New York to New Jersey
This move crosses a state line, so federal rules apply. A & A Alliance Moving Inc (Two Guys And a Truck NYC), a family business since 1999, holds U.S. DOT No. 967970 and MC-432549 for moves between states, plus NYSDOT 34875 and NJPM 000930. Check any mover on the FMCSA website, and read the federal guides Ready to Move? and Your Rights and Responsibilities When You Move.
After the move
New Jersey gives new residents 60 days after the move (or until the old license expires, if sooner) to transfer a driver license and vehicle registration (NJ MVC).
