Edison, NJ → Morgantown, WV · Regional long-distance move
About 356 road miles heading west. Typical two-bedroom cost $2,930–$4,370, delivery in 1–3 days, 665 carriers on the Edison side and 67 in Morgantown.
Moving from Edison to Morgantown is a regional long-distance move of roughly 356 road miles, heading west from New Jersey to West Virginia.
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 $2,930 to $4,370 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 1 to 3 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 6 h 50 min.
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 67 around Morgantown (49 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 Morgantown.
Edison has a population of about 109,077 and Morgantown about 30,000. The two cities have comparable density (3,574 and 2,981 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends. Labor and living costs run lower in West Virginia than in New Jersey, which tends to make destination-side services such as unpacking or storage cheaper than the same services back home.

About 356 road miles (302 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 6 h 50 min.
Expect a delivery window of 1 to 3 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 West Virginia 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 $520 to $730 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,340 to $1,970. 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–Morgantown corridor.
