Allentown, PA → Yonkers, NY · Short-haul move
About 104 road miles heading east. Typical two-bedroom cost $2,170–$3,230, delivery in 1–2 days, 424 carriers on the Allentown side and 2,152 in Yonkers.
Yonkers sits about 104 miles east of Allentown, which makes this an interstate relocation from Pennsylvania 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 2 h 30 min counted as billable travel time. A typical two-bedroom household lands between $2,170 and $3,230, before packing or storage.
On the Allentown side there are 424 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (296 of them authorized for interstate work), and 2,152 around Yonkers (1,091 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 Yonkers.
Allentown has a population of about 126,044 and Yonkers about 212,603. Yonkers is the denser city (11,754 people per square mile versus 7,150 in Allentown), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. New York is a higher-cost state than Pennsylvania, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses.

About 104 road miles (88 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 2 h 30 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 Pennsylvania 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 $260 to $360 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,110 to $1,640. 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 Allentown–Yonkers corridor.
