St. George, UT → Scranton, PA · Cross-country move
About 2,400 road miles heading east. Typical two-bedroom cost $7,360–$10,950, delivery in 7–14 days, 70 carriers on the St. George side and 264 in Scranton.
Moving from St. George to Scranton is a cross-country move of roughly 2,400 road miles, heading east from Utah to Pennsylvania.
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 $7,360 to $10,950 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 42 hours (5 driving days).
On the St. George side there are 70 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (45 of them authorized for interstate work), and 264 around Scranton (187 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 Scranton.
St. George has a population of about 108,713 and Scranton about 76,000. Scranton is the denser city (3,016 people per square mile versus 1,215 in St. George), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day.

About 2,400 road miles (2,034 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 42 hours (5 driving days).
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.
Yes. Crossing from Utah into Pennsylvania 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 $3,370 to $4,750 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $3,160 to $4,650. 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.
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 St. George–Scranton corridor.
