Dayton to Columbus Moving FAQs

Is a Dayton to Columbus move regulated as a local or long distance move?

Arrow Down

It stays inside Ohio, so it is an intrastate move rather than an interstate one. Household goods moves within the state are regulated by the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio, and we are registered with PUCO under number 650224. That is different from moves that leave the state, which fall under our federal USDOT and MC authority.

How long does the drive between Dayton and Columbus take for a moving truck?

Arrow Down

It is roughly 70 to 75 miles, mostly along I-70, which is a little over an hour in a car. A loaded truck and traffic around the I-270 outerbelt can stretch that. We try to avoid Columbus rush hours on the way in, which helps keep the whole day on schedule.

Should I avoid moving to Columbus when Ohio State students move in?

Arrow Down

If you are moving near campus, the University District or the Short North, it helps to avoid the week or two when Ohio State students move in and out, usually in mid to late August and again in May. Streets, parking and apartment elevators get crowded. If those dates are your only option, book early and let us know so we can plan around the traffic.

Can your truck get into German Village or the Short North?

Arrow Down

Usually, but both neighborhoods take planning. German Village has narrow brick streets and older homes with tight stairways, and parking in the Short North is limited. We ask about the street and entrance when we quote, and we may suggest a smaller truck or a longer carry from where the truck can park. Some buildings also need an elevator or loading area reserved.

I am moving to Dublin or another Columbus suburb. Is there anything I should check first?

Arrow Down

Many Dublin, Westerville and New Albany neighborhoods have HOAs or condo boards with rules on move times and truck parking. Some apartment communities also want a certificate of insurance before movers arrive. Ask your HOA or leasing office for their requirements a few weeks out and share them with us, and we will plan the delivery to match.
