Scranton, PA → Akron, OH · Regional long-distance move
About 360 road miles heading west. Typical two-bedroom cost $2,810–$4,170, delivery in 1–3 days, 264 carriers on the Scranton side and 349 in Akron.
The route from Scranton, PA to Akron, OH covers roughly 360 miles by road, a west-bound trip that falls into the regional long-distance move category for pricing purposes.
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 $2,810 to $4,170 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 1 to 3 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 6 h 54 min.
On the Scranton side there are 264 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (187 of them authorized for interstate work), and 349 around Akron (215 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 Akron.
Scranton has a population of about 76,000 and Akron about 189,691. The two cities have comparable density (3,016 and 3,077 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends.

About 360 road miles (305 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 6 h 54 min.
Expect a delivery window of 1 to 3 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.
Yes. Crossing from Pennsylvania into Ohio 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 $520 to $730 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,340 to $1,970. 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 Scranton–Akron corridor.
