Reverse: Scranton → Fredericksburg

The route from Fredericksburg, TX to Scranton, PA covers roughly 1,774 miles by road, a northeast-bound trip that falls into the cross-country 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 $6,230 to $9,270 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 5 to 10 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 31 hours (4 driving days).

On the Fredericksburg side there are 11 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (4 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.

Fredericksburg has a population of about 11,000 and Scranton about 76,000. Scranton is the denser city (3,016 people per square mile versus 1,138 in Fredericksburg), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. Note that Pennsylvania does collect a state income tax, unlike Texas, so factor that into the cost-of-living comparison.

Frequently asked questions

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

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $2,490 to $3,710 for a studio, $3,740 to $5,560 for a one-bedroom, $6,230 to $9,270 for a two-bedroom, $9,970 to $14,840 for a three-bedroom and $13,710 to $20,400 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Scranton from Fredericksburg?

About 1,774 road miles (1,504 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 31 hours (4 driving days).

How long will the movers take to deliver?

Expect a delivery window of 5 to 10 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 Texas 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 Fredericksburg to Scranton?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $2,420 to $3,420 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,600 to $3,830. 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 Fredericksburg–Scranton corridor.
