Reverse: Scranton → Concord

Moving from Concord to Scranton is a regional long-distance move of roughly 289 road miles, heading southwest from New Hampshire to Pennsylvania.

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 $2,730 to $4,060 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 41 min.

On the Concord side there are 52 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (40 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.

Concord has a population of about 45,000 and Scranton about 76,000. Scranton is the denser city (3,016 people per square mile versus 688 in Concord), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. Labor and living costs run lower in Pennsylvania than in New Hampshire, which tends to make destination-side services such as unpacking or storage cheaper than the same services back home. Note that Pennsylvania does collect a state income tax, unlike New Hampshire, so factor that into the cost-of-living comparison.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to move from Concord to Scranton?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $1,280 to $1,900 for a studio, $1,640 to $2,430 for a one-bedroom, $2,730 to $4,060 for a two-bedroom, $4,360 to $6,490 for a three-bedroom and $6,000 to $8,920 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Scranton from Concord?

About 289 road miles (245 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 5 h 41 min.

How long will the movers take to deliver?

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.

Does my mover need interstate authority for this move?

Yes. Crossing from New Hampshire 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.

Is it cheaper to rent a truck or use a container for Concord to Scranton?

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.

When is the least expensive time to book this move?

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 Concord–Scranton corridor.
