The route
A short interstate haul: 375 miles, about 7 hours of driving. Long enough to be priced on weight, short enough that most carriers run it on a dedicated truck rather than pooling your goods with other shipments — a two-bedroom home typically runs $1,688 – $2,250. That means a tight delivery date and far less handling.

How many people move from Pittsburgh to Yonkers
The Census Bureau's American Community Survey (2016–2020) estimates that about 71 people a year (±74) moved from Allegheny County, PA, home to Pittsburgh, to Westchester County, NY, home to Yonkers. The margin of error is as large as the estimate, so read it as a handful of households rather than a count. Going the other way: about 44 people a year (±34). Movers from Allegheny County make up 0.2% of the 37,608 people a year who moved into Westchester County from another county or state.
At state level, the 2024 survey counts about 23,152 people a year (±3,265) moving from Pennsylvania to New York and about 29,274 people a year (±4,078) from New York to Pennsylvania — a net gain for Pennsylvania of about 6,122 people a year.

Before you book Pittsburgh to Yonkers
Ask whether it is hourly or flat
At 375 miles some carriers still quote hourly plus mileage rather than by weight. Get both numbers so you can compare like with like — hourly can win on a short haul with easy access at both ends.
Confirm it is a one-day run
Most carriers cover this distance in a single day, which avoids an overnight charge and a second crew. If a quote assumes two days, ask why.
