Car Shipping from Ohio to New Jersey with Axis Auto Logistics
When you look at the map, the distance from Ohio to New Jersey doesn’t look all that daunting until you remember how densely populated much of the area is, and how taking that route would probably involve a lot of traffic as you take the Interstates through major cities. Even a drive of a few hundred miles can be stressful and challenging when you have to negotiate city traffic, and that’s in the comfort and familiarity of your own family minivan, so you can imagine what it’d be like if you were behind the wheel of an 80’ commercial auto transport that’s loaded with several customers’ vehicles to pick up and drop off.
When you need auto transport from Ohio to New Jersey, don’t go with the first company that presents itself or the one that has the lowest shipping rates. You need a company that’s got experience in auto logistics, and that has the flexibility and adaptability so that you can personalize your auto shipping order to your own vehicle and your needs. Axis Auto Logistics is that kind of company, with the right equipment, the right systems and the right standards to handle your vehicle professionally and get the job done to your specs. In these next few sections, we’re going to talk about what Axis Auto Logistics can offer you when you need a reliable car shipping resource, we’ll talk about how the car shipping process works, we’ll show you how to set up your own order and briefly walk you through what you can expect to spend.
Instant Cost Calculator: Ship Your Vehicle from Ohio to New Jersey with Axis Auto Logistics
There was a time when getting a price quote from a service provider was one of the most tedious and time consuming parts of the whole process, with a lengthy phone call to customer service (and probably some hold music) involved. That’s now a thing of the past with Axis Auto Logistics and our Quote Calculator feature. Once you locate the calculator on our website, it only takes a couple of minutes to use the dropdown boxes and put in the following information:
- Vehicle year/make/model
- Vehicle running condition
- Zip codes of the starting point and destination
- Preferred timeframe for transport
- Preferred method of transport
The calculator needs these details to be able to work up a quote for the services you need. Once you put in this information, it only takes a couple of seconds for the calculator to generate the quote. All quotes from Axis Auto Logistics are locked in, with no hidden costs or charges on the back end, and all quotes will be considered valid and will be honored for 7 calendar days.

Elements That Determine Your Auto Transport Expenses
This is a quick rundown of some of the influences that have to be plugged into the equation when setting shipping costs:
Vehicle year/make/model: whether it’s a vehicle, a forklift or a skid of copy paper, if it’s bigger and heavier, it’ll cost more to ship it. Bigger, heavier cargo takes up more space on a trailer that could be occupied by other loads, and burns more fuel for every mile it’s transported. That’s why a 5000 lb F150 costs more to ship than a 2800 lb Mini Cooper.
Vehicle running condition: often, customers do want to ship vehicles that can’t start, run, steer and stop under their own power, such as a project car that needs to go to a specialty shop for service or restoration. Vehicles that are inoperable need special handling and equipment, and not all trailers are fitted with a winch so non-running cars do require an enhanced shipping cost.
Starting point and destination: just like with plane fare or train tickets, the more distance that has to be covered, the more expensive it is. For auto logistics, the good news is that cost/mile starts to drop for very long runs, and there’s a solid value in cross-country auto transport.
Timeframe for shipping: the auto logistics business sees cycles where the volume of orders we handle will pick up for certain calendar periods. When things are busier and more trucks are on the road handling customer orders, the supply/demand equation means that available drivers are scarcer and shipping rates will temporarily spike until things cool off again.
Preferred shipping service: various vehicles, various budgets and various situations mean that we need to be agile and offer several shipping options to best serve customer needs. We offer a few different options that offer varying levels of protection and security for the vehicle, and they come in at different price points.
The Process of Vehicle Transportation Between Ohio and New Jersey
Getting the ball rolling for your vehicle shipment couldn’t be easier. This is all there is to it:
Use the Quote Calculator to get a quote for the shipping services you need. Click “confirm,” and your order will be put into the system. You’ll never be charged until we can actually connect you with a transport driver and dispatch the order.
According to the preferred time and date you give us for pickup, we’ll dispatch a transport driver to your curbside address to load and secure your car for shipment in that window of time. You and the driver will each perform a pre-trip inspection for the Bill of Lading document before the vehicle is loaded.
We’ll give you our best ETA for delivery and the driver will arrive curbside at the destination to unload your vehicle and you can take delivery. You and the driver will each perform a post-trip inspection and you’ll be asked to sign the BOL document. If you arranged for discount shipping with balance due on delivery, you can settle up the outstanding amount directly with the driver at this time. Cash, cashier’s check, major credit cards or money orders are accepted.
Understanding Costs for Vehicle Shipping from Ohio to New Jersey
Timeframe for Transporting a Vehicle from Ohio to New Jersey
Getting a vehicle from Ohio to New Jersey isn’t nearly as long a distance as some of the routes that we handle, and both states are served well by the Interstate and US Highway systems. Here’s a sample of a few potential shipping routes:
These estimates are based on our benchmarks for transport drivers, which state that a delivery that has to traverse 200-300 miles should take a single day, and a run of 2000 miles should require a 7 to 9 day turnaround. Shipping times are always going to be estimates and not guarantees, considering that things like bad weather, road conditions, detours or traffic can all slow down a driver once the truck is on the road. If it does look like your delivery schedule is going to be disrupted and your order is going to arrive late, you’ll be notified by the team at Axis and we’ll keep you updated on the new ETA.
| FROM | TO | MILES | DELIVERY TIME |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cleveland | Newark | 453 miles | 2 days |
| Dayton | Jersey City | 595 miles | 2 to 3 days |
| Cincinnati | Elizabeth | 619 miles | 2 to 3 days |
| Cincinnati | Atlantic City | 634 miles | 2 to 3 days |

Expert Advice for Efficient Vehicle Shipping in Ohio and New Jersey
To help things go smoothly, these are some steps you can take to prep your vehicle:
Shipping your car with less than ¼ tank of fuel helps save on shipping costs and curb weight.
Please disconnect the car alarm and remove any toll tags or parking tags.
Please remove any external accessories: bike racks, rooftop carriers, lights, etc.
You can ship up to 100 lbs of personal items, as long as they’re secured and in the trunk or cargo area.
