Erie sits about 1,165 miles north of Tampa, which makes this an interstate relocation from Florida to Pennsylvania 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 $5,080 to $7,560 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 3 to 7 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 20 h 47 min.
On the Tampa side there are 1,059 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (368 of them authorized for interstate work), and 71 around Erie (48 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 Erie.
Tampa has a population of about 413,554 and Erie about 93,000. Erie is the denser city (4,957 people per square mile versus 3,377 in Tampa), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. Note that Pennsylvania does collect a state income tax, unlike Florida, so factor that into the cost-of-living comparison.
