Edison, NJ → Rockville, MD · Regional long-distance move
About 210 road miles heading southwest. Typical two-bedroom cost $2,630–$3,910, delivery in 1–2 days, 665 carriers on the Edison side and 526 in Rockville.
The route from Edison, NJ to Rockville, MD covers roughly 210 miles by road, a southwest-bound trip that falls into the regional 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 $2,630 to $3,910 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 1 to 2 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 4 h 19 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 526 around Rockville (327 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 Rockville.
Edison has a population of about 109,077 and Rockville about 68,000. Rockville is the denser city (4,947 people per square mile versus 3,574 in Edison), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day.

About 210 road miles (178 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 4 h 19 min.
Expect a delivery window of 1 to 2 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 Maryland 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 $370 to $520 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,210 to $1,780. 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–Rockville corridor.
