Two Kinds of Long Haul

How far are you going?

The price works differently depending on whether we can get you there and back in a day.

Day trip

Within about 200 miles

Columbus · Cincinnati · Indianapolis · Louisville · Lexington

Priced exactly like a local move — by the hour, with the truck and fuel included. No long-distance premium, because for us it is still a one-day job.

Multi-day

Anywhere further

Chicago · Nashville · Atlanta · the Carolinas · further still

Quoted as one flat price for the whole move, worked out from your inventory and the distance. You see the full number before you agree to anything.

Why It Matters

One crew, start to finish.

This is the real difference between us and a national van line.

✦

Your things stay on one truck

Big carriers consolidate loads and swap trailers. We load your home once and open the door at the other end.

✦

The same people the whole way

The crew who wrapped your dresser in Dayton is the crew who carries it up the stairs at the other end.

✦

A real delivery date

Not a two-week delivery window. We tell you the day we will be there, because it is our truck and our schedule.

✦

One price, agreed up front

You see the full number in writing before we load anything. No weight reweigh, no surprise at delivery.

✦

Furniture pads & shrink wrap

Everything gets protected before it goes on the truck — more so on a long haul, not less.

✦

Disassembly & reassembly

Beds, desks and shelves come apart here and go back together there.

How It Works

Three steps to your move.

1

Tell us where and what

Fill in the form or call. For a long haul we will want a rough idea of the rooms and anything heavy or awkward.

2

Get a written price

Day trips are quoted by the hour. Longer moves come back as one flat price for the whole job, itemised so you can see what is in it.

3

We drive it ourselves

We load, we drive, we unload. You get a real date and the same faces at both ends.

Common Questions

Long-distance FAQs.

How is a long-distance move priced?

If we can get there and back in a day — Columbus, Cincinnati, Indianapolis, Louisville and similar — it is priced like any other move, by the hour, with the truck and fuel included. Anything further is quoted as one flat price for the whole job, worked out from what you are moving and how far it is going.

Do my things get moved onto another truck?

No. Your load stays on our truck from your old door to your new one. That is the main thing that separates us from the big national carriers, who routinely consolidate several households onto one trailer.

When will my things actually arrive?

We give you a delivery day, not a window. On a multi-day move we tell you where the truck is. Because it is our truck and our crew, we are not waiting on anybody else's schedule.

Do you need a deposit?

No. You do not pay anything until the job is done, the same as our local moves.

How far in advance should I book?

For a long haul, the sooner the better — a multi-day move takes our only truck and crew out of Dayton for those days, so the calendar fills quicker than it does for local work. Two to three weeks is comfortable. Ask anyway if it is sooner; sometimes it works.

Will you move specialty items?

Safes, marble, antiques, large appliances and awkward one-off pieces, yes — we do it regularly. Tell us about them up front so the right crew and equipment are on the job.
