Moving from Scranton to Inglewood is a cross-country move of roughly 2,791 road miles, heading west from Pennsylvania to California.

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 $8,890 to $13,220 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 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 1,198 around Inglewood (507 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 Inglewood.

Scranton has a population of about 76,000 and Inglewood about 101,662. Inglewood is the denser city (11,842 people per square mile versus 3,016 in Scranton), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. California is a higher-cost state than Pennsylvania, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses.

Tips for this move

Compare a full-service van line against a container service; for a small household the container often wins.
Ask about consolidated versus dedicated truck options—dedicated is faster but costs more.
Read the FMCSA 'Your Rights and Responsibilities When You Move' booklet the carrier must provide.
Ship the car separately if you plan to fly; auto transport is priced by the mile like household goods.

Frequently asked questions

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

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $3,560 to $5,290 for a studio, $5,330 to $7,930 for a one-bedroom, $8,890 to $13,220 for a two-bedroom, $14,220 to $21,160 for a three-bedroom and $19,550 to $29,090 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Inglewood from Scranton?

About 2,791 road miles (2,365 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 Pennsylvania into California 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 Inglewood?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $3,920 to $5,530 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $3,510 to $5,160. 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–Inglewood corridor.
