Reverse: Yonkers → Scranton

Yonkers sits about 117 miles east of Scranton, which makes this an interstate relocation from Pennsylvania to New York that most movers classify as a short-haul move.

Because the two cities are close together, most companies quote this move by the hour: a crew of two to four movers plus a truck, with the drive of about 2 h 43 min counted as billable travel time. A typical two-bedroom household lands between $2,220 and $3,300, before packing or storage.

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 2,152 around Yonkers (1,091 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 Yonkers.

Scranton has a population of about 76,000 and Yonkers about 212,603. Yonkers is the denser city (11,754 people per square mile versus 3,016 in Scranton), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. New York 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

Confirm whether travel time between Scranton and Yonkers is billed one way or round trip.
A single-day move is realistic here; schedule loading in the morning so the crew arrives in Yonkers with daylight to spare.
Check Pennsylvania intrastate mover rules; many states require a state permit in addition to a USDOT number.
Group fragile items and tell the crew which boxes go in the cab or on top.

Frequently asked questions

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

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $1,370 to $2,030 for a studio, $1,370 to $2,030 for a one-bedroom, $2,220 to $3,300 for a two-bedroom, $3,550 to $5,290 for a three-bedroom and $4,890 to $7,270 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Yonkers from Scranton?

About 117 road miles (99 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 2 h 43 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 York 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 Yonkers?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $270 to $380 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,120 to $1,650. 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–Yonkers corridor.
