Cedar Rapids, IA → Edison, NJ · Long-distance move
About 1,067 road miles heading east. Typical two-bedroom cost $4,980–$7,410, delivery in 3–7 days, 96 carriers on the Cedar Rapids side and 665 in Edison.
The route from Cedar Rapids, IA to Edison, NJ covers roughly 1,067 miles by road, a east-bound trip that falls into the long-distance move category for pricing purposes.
At this distance carriers price by shipment weight and mileage rather than by the hour. A two-bedroom home (around 5,000 lb of goods) typically costs $4,980 to $7,410 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 3 to 7 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 19 h 6 min.
On the Cedar Rapids side there are 96 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (57 of them authorized for interstate work), and 665 around Edison (476 interstate). For an interstate move you can book from either end; movers near the origin handle loading and are usually the better first call, while a destination-side company can be useful if you need storage or delivery-day help in Edison.
Cedar Rapids has a population of about 137,935 and Edison about 109,077. Edison is the denser city (3,574 people per square mile versus 1,910 in Cedar Rapids), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. New Jersey is a higher-cost state than Iowa, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses.

Expect a delivery window of 3 to 7 days after pickup. Carriers give a spread rather than a fixed date because long-distance trucks carry several shipments; a dedicated truck or expedited service shortens the window for an extra fee.
Yes. Crossing from Iowa into New Jersey makes this an interstate move, so the carrier must hold active FMCSA operating authority (an MC number) in addition to its USDOT number. The company cards on this page flag which carriers are authorized for interstate work.
A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $1,550 to $2,180 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,970 to $2,900. Both save money versus a full-service crew but you do the loading, and container transit can take longer than a mover's delivery window.
Rates are highest in summer and around the last days of any month, when demand peaks. Mid-month, mid-week and winter dates are usually quoted below the standard rate. Booking four to eight weeks ahead gives you the widest choice of carriers on the Cedar Rapids–Edison corridor.
