Moving from Pembroke Pines to Scranton is a long-distance move of roughly 1,294 road miles, heading north from Florida to Pennsylvania.

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 $5,410 to $8,040 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 3 to 7 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 23 h 1 min.

On the Pembroke Pines side there are 2,479 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (829 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.

Pembroke Pines has a population of about 176,714 and Scranton about 76,000. Pembroke Pines is considerably denser (5,235 people per square mile versus 3,016), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination. Note that Pennsylvania does collect a state income tax, unlike Florida, so factor that into the cost-of-living comparison.

Tips for this move

Declutter first: long-haul pricing is by weight, so every hundred pounds you sell or donate saves money.
Check whether a shuttle truck is needed in Scranton if a 53-foot trailer cannot reach your street.
Keep vehicle titles, passports and prescriptions with you; movers cannot carry some items at all.
Insist on a binding or binding-not-to-exceed estimate after an in-home or video survey.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to move from Pembroke Pines to Scranton?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $2,160 to $3,220 for a studio, $3,240 to $4,830 for a one-bedroom, $5,410 to $8,040 for a two-bedroom, $8,650 to $12,870 for a three-bedroom and $11,890 to $17,690 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Scranton from Pembroke Pines?

About 1,294 road miles (1,096 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 23 h 1 min.

How long will the movers take to deliver?

Expect a delivery window of 3 to 7 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 Florida 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 Pembroke Pines to Scranton?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $1,780 to $2,510 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,170 to $3,200. 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 Pembroke Pines–Scranton corridor.
