Edison, NJ → Centennial, CO · Cross-country move
About 1,896 road miles heading west. Typical two-bedroom cost $7,230–$10,760, delivery in 5–10 days, 665 carriers on the Edison side and 826 in Centennial.
Moving from Edison to Centennial is a cross-country move of roughly 1,896 road miles, heading west from New Jersey to Colorado.
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 $7,230 to $10,760 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 5 to 10 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 33 hours (4 driving days).
On the Edison side there are 665 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (476 of them authorized for interstate work), and 826 around Centennial (318 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 Centennial.
Edison has a population of about 109,077 and Centennial about 108,658. The two cities have comparable density (3,574 and 3,650 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends.

About 1,896 road miles (1,607 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 33 hours (4 driving days).
Expect a delivery window of 5 to 10 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 New Jersey into Colorado 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 $2,700 to $3,810 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,710 to $3,990. 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 Edison–Centennial corridor.
