Moving in Dayton
Columbus has grown fast enough that new-build suburban deliveries often hit unfinished streets and tight cul-de-sacs where a 53-foot trailer cannot maneuver. Around Dayton the practical question is usually access rather than paperwork: how close a full-size truck can get to the door, and whether a shuttle is needed. The closest market we also cover is Cincinnati, 60 miles out. The nearest large market outside Ohio is Fort Wayne, IN, about 120 miles and 1 day away.
Markets this size are where brokered moves go wrong most often, because there is less margin for a subcontractor to bother turning up. Our own crew comes either way.

Moving in Dayton: common questions
Which Dayton ZIP codes do you cover?
45401, 45402, 45403, 45404, 45405, 45406, 45407, 45408 and the rest of the delivery area. An address on the edge of the city limits changes nothing about the price — it only matters for whether a full-size truck can reach the door.
How long does a move from Dayton take?
Local jobs load and unload the same day. Further out: Cincinnati, OH — 60 mi, 1 day; Columbus, OH — 80 mi, 1 day; Fort Wayne, IN — 120 mi, 1 day. Past roughly 400 miles it becomes a long-haul schedule, and delivery is a window rather than a fixed hour.
Do you serve the rest of Greene County?
Yes. Dayton is what people search for, but crews run throughout Greene County and the surrounding towns.
Will a full-size truck reach my street in Dayton?
Often yes, and where it cannot we run a shuttle — a smaller truck that ferries between your door and the trailer. It costs more, so it belongs in the written estimate rather than appearing as a surprise on the day.
