Scranton, PA → North Charleston, SC · Long-distance move
About 748 road miles heading southwest. Typical two-bedroom cost $3,900–$5,800, delivery in 2–5 days, 264 carriers on the Scranton side and 269 in North Charleston.
Moving from Scranton to North Charleston is a long-distance move of roughly 748 road miles, heading southwest from Pennsylvania to South Carolina.
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 $3,900 to $5,800 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 13 h 36 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 269 around North Charleston (136 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 North Charleston.
Scranton has a population of about 76,000 and North Charleston about 129,245. Scranton is considerably denser (3,016 people per square mile versus 1,480), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination.

About 748 road miles (634 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 13 h 36 min.
Expect a delivery window of 2 to 5 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 South Carolina 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 $1,070 to $1,510 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,690 to $2,480. 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–North Charleston corridor.
