Bethlehem, PA → Yonkers, NY · Short-haul move
About 96 road miles heading east. Typical two-bedroom cost $1,630–$2,430, delivery in 1–2 days, 402 carriers on the Bethlehem side and 2,152 in Yonkers.
The route from Bethlehem, PA to Yonkers, NY covers roughly 96 miles by road, a east-bound trip that falls into the short-haul move category for pricing purposes.
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 21 min counted as billable travel time. A typical two-bedroom household lands between $1,630 and $2,430, before packing or storage.
On the Bethlehem side there are 402 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (297 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.
Bethlehem has a population of about 78,000 and Yonkers about 212,603. Yonkers is the denser city (11,754 people per square mile versus 3,964 in Bethlehem), 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.

For a move this short, loading and delivery normally happen on the same day. Most crews finish a two-bedroom home in 5 to 8 hours plus the drive.
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 $250 to $350 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,110 to $1,630. 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 Bethlehem–Yonkers corridor.
