Edison, NJ → White Plains, NY · Short-haul move
About 56 road miles heading northeast. Typical two-bedroom cost $1,520–$2,250, delivery in 1–2 days, 665 carriers on the Edison side and 369 in White Plains.
White Plains sits about 56 miles northeast of Edison, which makes this an interstate relocation from New Jersey to New York that most movers classify as a short-haul move.
Because the two cities are close together, most companies quote this move by the hour: a crew of two to four movers plus a truck, with the drive of about 1 h 40 min counted as billable travel time. A typical two-bedroom household lands between $1,520 and $2,250, before packing or storage.
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 369 around White Plains (163 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 White Plains.
Edison has a population of about 109,077 and White Plains about 60,000. White Plains is the denser city (6,117 people per square mile versus 3,574 in Edison), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day.

For a move this short, loading and delivery normally happen on the same day. Most crews finish a two-bedroom home in 5 to 8 hours plus the drive.
Yes. Crossing from New Jersey into New York 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 $210 to $290 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,070 to $1,570. 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–White Plains corridor.
