Scranton sits about 762 miles east of Joliet, which makes this an interstate relocation from Illinois 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 $4,130 to $6,150 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 13 h 50 min.
On the Joliet side there are 694 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (561 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.
Joliet has a population of about 152,241 and Scranton about 76,000. The two cities have comparable density (2,331 and 3,016 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends.
