Great moving experience at a competitive cost. Everything was wrapped well and handled with care. The team was efficient and moved items around if we didn’t like the first location we chose. I highly recommend.

Very professional and efficient work. I had my furniture moved by DOW and all of my items were carefully packaged and transported. The two movers were friendly and got the job done very well. Took almost exactly 3 hours.

Dow was very easy to work with from scheduling to the actual move. Jen was nice and accommodating. The movers were great! Very professional, took great care with the furniture and seemed focused on doing a great job. They both had great personalities and were fun during the move! Highly recommended!!

Dayton to Detroit Moving FAQs

What is the route and drive time from Dayton to Detroit?

Arrow Down

The move runs almost entirely up I-75, past Toledo and into Michigan. It is roughly 200 to 210 miles depending on where you land in the metro area, or about three and a half hours in a car. Traffic around Toledo and the Detroit freeways can add time, so we plan the delivery around rush hours when we can.

Is Dayton to Detroit considered an interstate move even though it is fairly close?

Arrow Down

Yes. Any move that crosses a state line is interstate, regardless of distance, so moving from Ohio to Michigan falls under federal rules. We handle it under our USDOT number 3435844 and MC number 1397290, both of which you can check on the FMCSA website. You will get a written estimate and sign a bill of lading before your things leave Dayton.

How do Michigan winters affect a move to Detroit?

Arrow Down

Snow and ice are common from roughly December through March, and cold snaps can be hard on electronics and anything with liquid in it. We lay down floor protection for the salt and slush, and we ask that driveways and walkways be cleared before we arrive. If a storm is forecast, we talk with you about shifting the date rather than pushing through unsafe roads.

Can you handle older homes in Indian Village or other historic Detroit neighborhoods?

Arrow Down

Yes. Many historic Detroit homes have grand staircases, tight turns on upper floors and original woodwork that needs protecting. Some also have limited driveway space, so the truck may need to park on the street. Tell us about the home when you request a quote, and we will plan padding, crew size and truck placement around the layout.

Can one crew load in Dayton and unload in Detroit on the same day?

Arrow Down

For many households it can, since the drive is a few hours. Whether it works depends on the size of your home, how ready things are when we arrive, and access at both ends. Larger homes or moves with a lot of packing may be split over two days. We will tell you which plan fits when we prepare your quote.
