Rockville, MD → Edison, NJ · Regional long-distance move
About 210 road miles heading northeast. Typical two-bedroom cost $2,630–$3,910, delivery in 1–2 days, 526 carriers on the Rockville side and 665 in Edison.
Moving from Rockville to Edison is a regional long-distance move of roughly 210 road miles, heading northeast from Maryland 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 $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 Rockville side there are 526 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (327 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.
Rockville has a population of about 68,000 and Edison about 109,077. Rockville is considerably denser (4,947 people per square mile versus 3,574), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination.

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 Maryland 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 $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 Rockville–Edison corridor.
