Fremont, CA → Edison, NJ · Cross-country move
About 2,989 road miles heading east. Typical two-bedroom cost $9,860–$14,660, delivery in 7–14 days, 599 carriers on the Fremont side and 665 in Edison.
Moving from Fremont to Edison is a cross-country move of roughly 2,989 road miles, heading east from California to New Jersey.
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 $9,860 to $14,660 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 52 hours (6 driving days).
On the Fremont side there are 599 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (168 of them authorized for interstate work), and 665 around Edison (476 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 Edison.
Fremont has a population of about 226,442 and Edison about 109,077. The two cities have comparable density (2,944 and 3,574 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends. Labor and living costs run lower in New Jersey than in California, which tends to make destination-side services such as unpacking or storage cheaper than the same services back home.

About 2,989 road miles (2,533 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 52 hours (6 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 California into New Jersey 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 $4,120 to $5,820 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $3,690 to $5,420. 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 Fremont–Edison corridor.
