About 288 road miles heading west. Typical two-bedroom cost $2,880–$4,280, delivery in 1–3 days, 288 carriers on the Brockton side and 264 in Scranton.
The route from Brockton, MA to Scranton, PA covers roughly 288 miles by road, a west-bound trip that falls into the regional long-distance move category for pricing purposes.
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 $2,880 to $4,280 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 1 to 3 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 5 h 40 min.
On the Brockton side there are 288 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (179 of them authorized for interstate work), and 264 around Scranton (187 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 Scranton.
Brockton has a population of about 106,134 and Scranton about 76,000. Brockton is considerably denser (4,960 people per square mile versus 3,016), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination. Labor and living costs run lower in Pennsylvania than in Massachusetts, which tends to make destination-side services such as unpacking or storage cheaper than the same services back home.

About 288 road miles (244 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 5 h 40 min.
Expect a delivery window of 1 to 3 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 Massachusetts into Pennsylvania 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 $450 to $630 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,280 to $1,880. 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 Brockton–Scranton corridor.
