Edison sits about 556 miles east of Sterling Heights, which makes this an interstate relocation from Michigan to New Jersey that most movers classify as a long-distance move.
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 $3,730 to $5,550 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 2 to 5 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 10 h 17 min.
On the Sterling Heights side there are 754 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (308 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.
Sterling Heights has a population of about 133,931 and Edison about 109,077. The two cities have comparable density (3,691 and 3,574 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends. New Jersey is a higher-cost state than Michigan, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses.
