104 FMCSA-registered movers serving State College, PA — local hourly rates, long-distance cost tables, a calculator and the routes people take out of the city.
With a population of about 40,000 and 104 FMCSA-registered household-goods carriers based in and around the city, State College has a well-developed moving market for both local and long-distance work.
Local moves inside State College are quoted by the hour: expect around $130 per hour for two movers and a truck, $175 for three, and $220 for a four-person crew, usually with a two- or three-hour minimum plus a travel fee. 47 of the local carriers hold interstate authority, and 65 report operating beyond 100 miles, so long-distance capacity is reasonable.
State College is a dense city (8,847 people per square mile), which shapes how moves work: parking permits, elevator reservations, narrow streets and walk-ups add time, and many companies quote a shuttle or long-carry fee when a truck cannot park at the door.
Ranges cover a full-service crew (loading, transport, unloading). Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items are extra; the calculator below adds them.

Most do. Flights of stairs, elevator waits and long carries from the truck to the door are common surcharges, typically a flat fee per flight or an extra hour of labor. Tell the estimator about both addresses so the quote includes them.
