Greenwich, CT → Allentown, PA · Short-haul move
About 120 road miles heading west. Typical two-bedroom cost $2,130–$3,170, delivery in 1–2 days, 347 carriers on the Greenwich side and 424 in Allentown.
The route from Greenwich, CT to Allentown, PA covers roughly 120 miles by road, a west-bound trip that falls into the short-haul move category for pricing purposes.
Because the two cities are close together, most companies quote this move by the hour: a crew of two to four movers plus a truck, with the drive of about 2 h 46 min counted as billable travel time. A typical two-bedroom household lands between $2,130 and $3,170, before packing or storage.
On the Greenwich side there are 347 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (159 of them authorized for interstate work), and 424 around Allentown (296 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 Allentown.
Greenwich has a population of about 63,000 and Allentown about 126,044. Greenwich is considerably denser (13,118 people per square mile versus 7,150), 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 Connecticut, which tends to make destination-side services such as unpacking or storage cheaper than the same services back home.

About 120 road miles (101 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 2 h 46 min.
Expect a delivery window of 1 to 2 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 Connecticut 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 $270 to $390 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,130 to $1,660. 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 Greenwich–Allentown corridor.
