Where we deliver in Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania is an interstate move from the Bay Area, so it is planned and priced under federal rules rather than the California hourly tariff. We deliver Bay Area households to Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Allentown, Harrisburg and State College and to towns across the state.

Pennsylvania weather and move timing
Snowfall in Pennsylvania ranges widely, from under 20 inches in the southeast to over 100 inches in the snowiest areas, so winter delivery plans differ by region. Source: NOAA NCEI State Climate Summary: Pennsylvania.
Plan the delivery date with the season in mind, and have utilities on at the new home before the truck arrives.
Every piece of furniture is fully wrapped and protected with moving blankets and tape, at no extra charge.
Parking and access in Pittsburgh and State College
In Pittsburgh, a person or company must apply for a Moving Permit to temporarily obstruct one or more on-street parking spaces for moving purposes. Source: City of Pittsburgh DOMI: Moving Permit Information Sheet.
If a Pittsburgh moving permit includes a No Parking sign, the sign must be posted at the site at least 48 hours before the permit period starts. Source: City of Pittsburgh DOMI: Moving Permit Information Sheet.
In State College, meter bags may be approved by submitting the completed Meter Bag Application to the Parking Office. Source: State College Borough: Downtown Parking.
If the new home is in a building or HOA community, ask them about delivery hours and elevator reservations and let us know.
How a Pennsylvania move is priced
Interstate moves like this one are billed by the pound. Your written estimate lists the rate per pound and a minimum space reservation. Extra pounds are charged at the rate you were quoted. The estimate is non-binding, because the final price is based on the actual weight of the shipment.
The fixed-price option is a flat fee for reserving an entire truck. That price is binding, with guaranteed pickup and delivery. The same team loads and unloads, and there is no weight limit.
The loaded truck is weighed, and the scale ticket shows your net weight. A free on-site inspection gives the most accurate estimate.
Delivery window to Pennsylvania
Delivery time window: up to 30 days (company policy). Average delivery time window: 7 to 14 days, counted from your earliest available delivery date.
The clock starts on the first day you can take delivery in Pennsylvania, not on the pickup day. Need fixed dates instead? That is what the reserved truck is for.
Delivery-day extras on a weight-based move
Access at the new Pennsylvania address can add charges on a weight-based move: extra flights of stairs after the first, a carry longer than 100 feet, elevator use, and a shuttle when the big truck cannot get close. A reserved-truck flat fee has none of these.
Included in the per-pound rate
The rate covers all mileage, taxes and tolls. Door-to-door labor is in it too: loading, unloading, taking furniture apart and putting it back, labeling and the inventory. Blankets and tape cost nothing extra, and other supplies are billed as used. Basic valuation is $0.60 per pound per article, and full value protection can be bought from Baker International (account ID 17421). Not in the base rate: packing (available per pound) and unpacking.
Payment and discounts
Half is paid on the day of pickup and half on delivery. Payment: Cash, Money Order, Visa, or Mastercard (3% transaction fee applies for card payments). Card balances are paid one day before delivery. A friend referral takes 5% off; returning customers and agent referrals get 7%.
