Reverse: Atlantic City → Scranton

Atlantic City sits about 182 miles southeast of Scranton, which makes this an interstate relocation from Pennsylvania to New Jersey that most movers classify as a regional long-distance 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 $2,400 to $3,570 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 1 to 2 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 3 h 50 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 81 around Atlantic City (50 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 Atlantic City.

Scranton has a population of about 76,000 and Atlantic City about 38,000. The two cities have comparable density (3,016 and 3,578 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends. New Jersey 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 Scranton to Atlantic City?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $1,320 to $1,970 for a studio, $1,440 to $2,140 for a one-bedroom, $2,400 to $3,570 for a two-bedroom, $3,840 to $5,720 for a three-bedroom and $5,290 to $7,860 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Atlantic City from Scranton?

About 182 road miles (154 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 3 h 50 min.

How long will the movers take to deliver?

Expect a delivery window of 1 to 2 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 New Jersey 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 Scranton to Atlantic City?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $340 to $480 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,180 to $1,740. 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 Scranton–Atlantic City corridor.
