Iowa City sits about 967 miles west of Scranton, which makes this an interstate relocation from Pennsylvania to Iowa that most movers classify as a 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 $4,380 to $6,520 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 17 h 22 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 43 around Iowa City (28 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 Iowa City.
Scranton has a population of about 76,000 and Iowa City about 75,000. The two cities have comparable density (3,016 and 2,904 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends.
