A move from Washington, DC to Philadelphia sends our trucks roughly 140 miles up the I-95 corridor, and our crew makes the whole interstate run in a single day. We wrap your furniture, load one truck, and drive it straight into Center City or the suburbs — no swapping cargo between vehicles along the way. From studio apartments to full four-bedroom homes, this Northeast relocation is one we run week after week.

If you'd rather not touch a single box, our full-pack service crates up the entire house before we hit the road. And if your plans have you stopping short of Philly, we also handle the closer DC to Baltimore leg, so you get the same crew whether you're headed to Maryland or Pennsylvania.

01 Overview

The drive from Washington, DC to Philadelphia is about 140 miles up I-95 north, past Baltimore and Wilmington into the city. It is a comfortable one-day lane for our crew. We load in DC, drive our own truck, and unload in Philly the same day for most homes, all under one binding written rate.

A Same-Day Philly Lane

Whether you are landing in Center City, Fishtown, or the Main Line suburbs, our W-2 movers handle the whole job. No brokers, no strangers meeting your truck in Pennsylvania.

  • Row-home and narrow-street experience across Philadelphia neighborhoods
  • Furniture disassembly, padding, and reassembly included
  • GPS-tracked truck and a set delivery window
  • One crew from your DC door to your Philadelphia door

A $99 deposit holds your date. Marcus Bell has been running DC moves since 2013, and the crew that starts your Philadelphia move is the crew that finishes it.

What to expect on this route · ~140 mi

One crew and one truck the whole way, GPS-tracked door to door, on a single binding written rate. We name a delivery day and hit it — nobody else ever touches your load, and the price we wrote down is the price you pay.

Built for DC

We Know How Washington Moves Actually Work

Row houses, high-rises, historic blocks and permit-only parking — the details that trip up out-of-town movers are routine for our crews.

Building COIs & elevators

We file certificates of insurance and reserve the freight elevator with building management before move day.

Permit & loading-zone parking

We pull the temporary no-parking permits so the truck sits legally at your curb, not a block away.

Row-house stairs & walk-ups

Narrow original staircases and third-floor walk-ups in Capitol Hill and Adams Morgan are an everyday job for our crews.

Historic & landmark homes

Floor protection, doorway padding, and careful handling for older DC homes with original details worth keeping.

High-rise & condo rules

Elevator windows, dock reservations, and HOA move-in requirements handled ahead of time so nothing stalls.

Short-term storage

Closing dates that don’t line up? We hold your goods in our secured DC facility and redeliver when you’re ready.

Long-haul stories

★★★★★

“Booked them after two other companies wanted to charge hourly and pad it out. Flat rate, one price in writing, done in an afternoon. They even reserved the metered spots out front so we didn't get ticketed.”

Daniel Osei, Columbia Heights · Yelp
★★★★★

“These guys know DC row houses. The front stoop and the turn at the top of the stairs would have stopped an amateur crew, but they had a system and just handled it. Really impressed.”

Laura Petrakis, Bloomingdale · Yelp
★★★★★

“My building on P Street only gives you a two-hour freight elevator slot and these guys made it work without breaking a sweat. The written quote was exactly what I paid at the end, no surprise add-ons.”
