Moving from Erie to Richmond is a cross-country move of roughly 2,634 road miles, heading west from Pennsylvania to California.
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 $8,610 to $12,810 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 7 to 14 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 46 hours (6 driving days).
On the Erie side there are 71 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (48 of them authorized for interstate work), and 252 around Richmond (86 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 Richmond.
Erie has a population of about 93,000 and Richmond about 114,861. The two cities have comparable density (4,957 and 3,869 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends. California is a higher-cost state than Pennsylvania, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses.
