About loading and unloading in Edison
If nobody is waiting at the other end, book both. This service collects the Edison pickup and the destination in a single request and creates one booking with one independent company for the whole day.
The form collects both addresses for this service. Transportation stays yours — rental truck, trailer, or container — and each company sets its own travel policy, so confirm how it handles the distance between the two addresses before your date.

When both ends is the right call
Combined suits a local move that fits inside a working day with no help at the destination — within Edison, out to Metuchen, Piscataway, Woodbridge, or into a storage facility.
Whole-house moves are the common case here, and they are also the ones most likely to run long. Be realistic about volume when you decide the day's shape.
Loading only, unloading only, or both
Loading only ends when the load is strapped. Unloading only starts when the vehicle arrives. Both is one crew and one booking across the day.
The deciding question is whether anyone capable is available at the far end.
Two properties, two very different constraints
An Edison origin often means a driveway and a short loop; the destination might be a complex lot with a long carry, or an upper-floor apartment with stairs.
Give both descriptions rather than assuming they match. Crew sizing is set by the harder end, not the easier one.
Travel between the addresses
We do not promise a crew follows your vehicle, that drive time is automatically billable, or that mileage is included. Those are company-specific policies.
Ask the company you book how it handles the gap between addresses — travel, timing, and how hours are counted — before move day.
Preparing both locations
Origin: packed, labeled, garage and basement sorted, driveway clear. Destination: entry clear, placement decided, floors protected, lighting on.
On a whole-house combined job, origin preparation is what keeps the destination from being unloaded in the dark.
How combined service is priced
Hourly at each independent company's own rate, crew size, and minimum hours. Combined is one request covering both locations, not a flat package price.
The estimate including the Service Processing Fee is shown before submission; the card is authorized then and captured when a company accepts.
