Moving out of Ohio: what the data shows

86 of 102 Ohio moving companies (84.3%) hold interstate operating authority, compared to 82.4% across the 3,185 movers GoodMigrations tracks nationally. Any company moving your household across a state line needs that authority and a USDOT number, which you can verify yourself through the FMCSA company snapshot tool.

25 Ohio movers (24.5%) offer full valuation coverage, against 29.2% nationally. The alternative is released-value protection, which every interstate mover must offer at no charge and which pays 60 cents per pound per article. On that basis a 50 pound item worth $1,500 settles for $30.

90.2% of the Ohio movers GoodMigrations tracks offer storage in transit, which matters on long routes where your delivery window and your lease dates do not line up.

Local moves inside Ohio average $122 per hour for a crew, which is billed by time. Interstate moves are priced on shipment weight and distance instead, so an hourly rate is not a useful benchmark once you cross a state line.

Licensing rules for movers in Ohio

Although a local license is not required in Ohio, make sure the moving company you’ll be hiring is registered with U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT). To verify if you’re dealing with a legal and licensed mover, you may ask them their USDOT registration number.

The Ohio Association of Movers is the state industry body for Ohio movers. State registration status can be checked directly at the Ohio regulator.
