Movers in Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania splits between Philadelphia and its suburbs in the east, Pittsburgh in the west, and the Lehigh Valley in between, which has grown into a major distribution hub.

Moving to or from Pennsylvania
New York, New Jersey and Baltimore run short-haul. Florida and the Carolinas take most of the long-distance outbound.
Philadelphia rowhouses and Pittsburgh hillside homes present the same problem from different directions: stairs that will not accommodate large case goods, and streets too narrow for a full trailer.
Whether the job stays inside Pennsylvania or crosses state lines, the same company handles it end to end. United Relocation is an FMCSA-authorized motor carrier — we are not passing your shipment to whichever crew happens to bid on it.

Moving in Pennsylvania: common questions
What does a move from Pennsylvania depend on?
Weight and distance first — Baltimore, MD is about 90 miles out, Virginia Beach, VA about 270, and that gap alone changes the job. Rowhouse and hillside access mean hoisting shows up on a real share of Philadelphia and Pittsburgh jobs. Our published starting rates give you a floor — $250 an hour on a local move, from $1,800 on a long haul — and the number that binds is a written estimate against your actual inventory, which is free.
Which cities in Pennsylvania do you serve?
Philadelphia is the largest market in the state at roughly 1553,000 people, and we also run crews in Pittsburgh, Allentown, Erie, Reading, Scranton, Bethlehem. Smaller towns are covered too, though rural addresses sometimes need a shuttle from a smaller truck.
How long does a move out of Pennsylvania take?
Inside Pennsylvania, normally loaded and delivered the same day. Interstate, distance sets it: Baltimore, MD at 90 miles lands in a day, Virginia Beach, VA at 270 miles takes longer. Summer is busiest; the Lehigh Valley also moves on a corporate rather than school calendar.
