Edison, NJ → Jackson, WY · Cross-country move
About 2,203 road miles heading west. Typical two-bedroom cost $7,430–$11,050, delivery in 7–14 days, 665 carriers on the Edison side and 18 in Jackson.
Jackson sits about 2,203 miles west of Edison, which makes this an interstate relocation from New Jersey to Wyoming that most movers classify as a cross-country move.
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 $7,430 to $11,050 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 7 to 14 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 38 hours (5 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 18 around Jackson (13 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 Jackson.
Edison has a population of about 109,077 and Jackson about 11,000. The two cities have comparable density (3,574 and 3,634 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends. Labor and living costs run lower in Wyoming than in New Jersey, which tends to make destination-side services such as unpacking or storage cheaper than the same services back home. Wyoming levies no state income tax on wages, a frequent reason people make this exact move.

About 2,203 road miles (1,867 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 38 hours (5 driving days).
Expect a delivery window of 7 to 14 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 Wyoming 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 $3,010 to $4,250 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,990 to $4,390. 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–Jackson corridor.
