Moving in Allentown
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. Allentown has enough of its own volume that crews are based nearby rather than dispatched across the state, and that shows up as tighter arrival windows. The closest market we also cover is Philadelphia, 60 miles out. The nearest large market outside Pennsylvania is Newark, NJ, about 80 miles and 1 day away.
A move out of Allentown is quoted and performed by the same company — no handoff to whoever happens to be running that lane this week.

Moving in Allentown: common questions
Which Allentown ZIP codes do you cover?
18101, 18102, 18103, 18104, 18105, 18106, 18109, 18175 and the rest of the delivery area. An address on the edge of the city limits changes nothing about the price — it only matters for whether a full-size truck can reach the door.
How long does a move from Allentown take?
Local jobs load and unload the same day. Further out: Philadelphia, PA — 60 mi, 1 day; Newark, NJ — 80 mi, 1 day; Jersey City, NJ — 90 mi, 1 day. Past roughly 400 miles it becomes a long-haul schedule, and delivery is a window rather than a fixed hour.
Do you serve the rest of Lehigh County?
Yes. Allentown is what people search for, but crews run throughout Lehigh County and the surrounding towns.
Is a move from Allentown to another Pennsylvania city local or interstate?
Local, as long as it stays inside Pennsylvania. That changes the paperwork and usually the pricing model, since intrastate jobs are commonly billed hourly rather than by weight. Cross a state line and it becomes interstate even if the drive is twenty minutes.
