Moving from Pittsburgh to Quincy is a long-distance move of roughly 568 road miles, heading east from Pennsylvania to Massachusetts.

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 $3,910 to $5,810 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 10 h 30 min.

On the Pittsburgh side there are 450 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (241 of them authorized for interstate work), and 456 around Quincy (277 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 Quincy.

Pittsburgh has a population of about 307,632 and Quincy about 103,173. The two cities have comparable density (5,469 and 6,123 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends. Massachusetts is a higher-cost state than Pennsylvania, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to move from Pittsburgh to Quincy?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $1,560 to $2,320 for a studio, $2,340 to $3,490 for a one-bedroom, $3,910 to $5,810 for a two-bedroom, $6,250 to $9,300 for a three-bedroom and $8,590 to $12,790 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Quincy from Pittsburgh?

About 568 road miles (482 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 10 h 30 min.

How long will the movers take to deliver?

Expect a delivery window of 2 to 5 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 Pennsylvania into Massachusetts 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 Pittsburgh to Quincy?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $880 to $1,250 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,530 to $2,250. 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 Pittsburgh–Quincy corridor.
