Where we deliver in Ohio
We move Bay Area homes to Ohio: Columbus, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Dayton and Toledo, plus the suburbs and smaller towns around them. The move runs under our US DOT 1783494 authority and is priced by weight or as a reserved-truck flat fee.
Ohio weather and move timing
Northern Ohio can receive 60 inches or more of snow a year, so winter moves there can meet snowy streets. Source: NOAA NCEI State Climate Summary: Ohio.
If your dates fall in those months, leave some room around the delivery window and keep the path from the street to the door clear.
Every piece of furniture is fully wrapped and protected with moving blankets and tape, at no extra charge.
Parking and access in Columbus and Cincinnati
Columbus requires a short term right-of-way occupancy permit, 7 days at most, to park a moving van in the public right-of-way, applied for through the city's online permitting portal. Source: City of Columbus: Get a Right of Way Permit.
In Cincinnati, temporary parking restriction requests are accepted only with a valid city transportation (DOTE) or police (CPD) permit. Source: Cincinnati Police Department: Instructions and Guidelines for Requesting Temporary Parking Restrictions.
Cincinnati parking reservations must be set up a minimum of 14 hours, but not more than 24 hours, in advance. Source: Cincinnati Police Department: Instructions and Guidelines for Requesting Temporary Parking Restrictions.
Unless the permit says otherwise, a Cincinnati parking reservation does not allow parking during restricted rush hours, 6AM to 9AM or 3PM to 6PM. Source: Cincinnati Police Department: Instructions and Guidelines for Requesting Temporary Parking Restrictions.
Send us the city permit details or your HOA or building rules once you have them, and we plan the truck around them.
How an Ohio 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: the scale sets the final number.
Prefer one fixed number? Ask for a flat fee based on reserving an entire truck. That price is binding, with guaranteed pickup and delivery. One crew handles both ends, with no accessorial charges.
You see the proof: the net weight and the scale ticket come to you after pickup.
Delivery window to Ohio
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 Ohio, not on the pickup day. Need fixed dates instead? That is what the reserved truck is for.
Charges that can apply at delivery
Four delivery-side services may apply 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. Moving blankets and tape are free; other packing supplies are charged as used. Basic valuation is $0.60 per pound per article, and full value protection can be bought from Baker International (account ID 17421). Packing service can be added per pound; unpacking at the new home is not included.
Paying for the move
The first half is due at pickup and the second at delivery. Payment: Cash, Money Order, Visa, or Mastercard (3% transaction fee applies for card payments). Card balances are paid one day before delivery. Returning customers and real-estate-agent referrals get 7% off, and friend referrals 5%.
