Reverse: Scranton → Pomona

Scranton sits about 2,751 miles northeast of Pomona, which makes this an interstate relocation from California to Pennsylvania that most movers classify as a cross-country 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 $8,820 to $13,120 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 7 to 14 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 48 hours (6 driving days).

On the Pomona side there are 628 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (314 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.

Pomona has a population of about 147,807 and Scranton about 76,000. Pomona is considerably denser (6,596 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. Labor and living costs run lower in Pennsylvania than in California, which tends to make destination-side services such as unpacking or storage cheaper than the same services back home.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to move from Pomona to Scranton?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $3,530 to $5,250 for a studio, $5,290 to $7,870 for a one-bedroom, $8,820 to $13,120 for a two-bedroom, $14,110 to $20,990 for a three-bedroom and $19,400 to $28,860 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Scranton from Pomona?

About 2,751 road miles (2,332 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 48 hours (6 driving days).

How long will the movers take to deliver?

Expect a delivery window of 7 to 14 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 California 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 Pomona to Scranton?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $3,880 to $5,470 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $3,480 to $5,110. 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 Pomona–Scranton corridor.
