Fishers, IN → Scranton, PA · Long-distance move
About 647 road miles heading east. Typical two-bedroom cost $3,630–$5,410, delivery in 2–5 days, 345 carriers on the Fishers side and 264 in Scranton.
Scranton sits about 647 miles east of Fishers, which makes this an interstate relocation from Indiana to Pennsylvania that most movers classify as a long-distance move.
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 $3,630 to $5,410 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 2 to 5 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 11 h 51 min.
On the Fishers side there are 345 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (225 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.
Fishers has a population of about 104,812 and Scranton about 76,000. The two cities have comparable density (2,780 and 3,016 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends.

About 647 road miles (549 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 11 h 51 min.
Expect a delivery window of 2 to 5 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 Indiana 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 $960 to $1,360 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,600 to $2,350. 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 Fishers–Scranton corridor.
