Morgantown, WV → Pittsburgh, PA · Short-haul move
About 65 road miles heading north. Typical two-bedroom cost $1,260–$1,870, delivery in 1–2 days, 67 carriers on the Morgantown side and 450 in Pittsburgh.
Moving from Morgantown to Pittsburgh is a short-haul move of roughly 65 road miles, heading north from West Virginia to Pennsylvania.
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 1 h 49 min counted as billable travel time. A typical two-bedroom household lands between $1,260 and $1,870, before packing or storage.
On the Morgantown side there are 67 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (49 of them authorized for interstate work), and 450 around Pittsburgh (241 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 Pittsburgh.
Morgantown has a population of about 30,000 and Pittsburgh about 307,632. Pittsburgh is the denser city (5,469 people per square mile versus 2,981 in Morgantown), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. Pennsylvania is a higher-cost state than West Virginia, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses.

For a move this short, loading and delivery normally happen on the same day. Most crews finish a two-bedroom home in 5 to 8 hours plus the drive.
Yes. Crossing from West Virginia 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 $220 to $310 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,080 to $1,590. 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 Morgantown–Pittsburgh corridor.
