Would they have really transported that body all the way to Jersey to get rid of it?
Maybe the right people needed to see it done.

No, that wouldn’t make any sense.
They picked him up here in Michigan and have PLENTY of space (land AND water) right here to dump the body. You don’t take chances by driving halfway across the country... if you’re gonna do that, you go WEST. Lots of DESERT there.
Could he maybe been taken alive to Jersey to meet with someone, and was offed there?

Probably made the trip with Hoffa’s body, covered by a canvas, strapped to the top of a early model Wagon Queen Family Truckster station wagon.
They’re Teamsters, experts at transport.
The short answer is YES! If you’ve ever been in LE you’d know just exactly how much it complicates an investigation and subsequent prosecution. When a body is found at the scene of the “crime”, as it usually/normally is, the body and anything found on it or near it can be treated as “direct” evidence or “potentially” “direct evidence. But... when the body is discovered somewhere else than the crime scene, it becomes more complicated for a variety of reasons. You go from having to determine/prove that a crime was comitted where/when/how and by who. AND that the evidence found there is almost certainly allowed at trial. You end up with... Going from knowing the crime was committed, but NOT knowing “where”. Something you’re going to “usually” be required to explain. Then there is the evidence of the body, on the body, or “about” the body. Now, sure, maybe you find evidence, but now you face this uphill struggle linking the evidence to the initial crime scene.
