How freight moves in New Jersey
Freight in New Jersey runs on I-76, I-78, I-80, I-95, I-195 and I-280. Ocean and river cargo moves through Port Newark-Elizabeth Marine Terminal (Port of New York and New Jersey), Port of Camden and Port of Paulsboro. The state's economy leans on port and container logistics, pharmaceuticals and life sciences, chemicals and warehousing and distribution along the I-95 corridor, and that is most of what moves on its roads.

What shapes a move in New Jersey

- If you are moving to the state
A vehicle moved to New Jersey must be registered at a Motor Vehicle Commission agency by appointment, with a New Jersey insurance card and an application for a certificate of ownership, plus a pencil tracing or photo of the VIN when the previous state issues no titles. Source ↗
