Ohio's Trusted Long Distance Moving Services

Q: What’s the difference between a local and long distance move in Ohio?

Any move over 100 miles within the state is typically considered long distance. Local moves usually stay within a metro area and require less travel time and coordination.

Q: How are long distance moving costs calculated?

We consider factors like distance, volume of belongings, labor time, and any specialty services (e.g., packing, storage). With Cardinal, you’ll always get a clear estimate—no hidden fees.

Q: Do I need to pack everything myself?

Not at all. We offer full and partial packing services, so you can choose the level of help you need. We use high-quality materials and techniques to keep your belongings safe for the long haul.

Q: Can you move my heavy furniture or delicate items?

Yes. Our team is trained to move large, bulky, or fragile items like sectionals, pianos, and glassware. We disassemble and reassemble furniture as needed.

Cardinal Moving & Storage – Expert Long Distance Moving Services in Ohio

There’s nothing like the thrill of a new home, but the move itself? Not so thrilling. That's where Cardinal Moving & Storage steps in. We handle the heavy lifting, the packing, the unpacking, and all the details in between. Our full-service residential moving options are designed to take the burden off your shoulders, giving you the freedom to enjoy your fresh start. With us on your side, you can focus on making memories in your new home without stressing over how to get there.

What is a Long Distance Move?

A long distance move typically covers more than 100 miles within the same state. So if you're relocating from Akron to Cincinnati, Cleveland to Columbus, or anywhere else across Ohio, you're planning a long distance move—even if you're not crossing state lines.

Local moves (under 100 miles) are often quicker and more straightforward. But once your move stretches beyond that, you’ll want a team that knows how to plan, pack, transport, and deliver with precision. That’s where we come in—bringing expert coordination, secure transport, and a stress-free experience to every corner of the Buckeye State.

At Cardinal Moving & Storage, we specialize in intrastate long distance moving throughout Ohio. That means you get all the benefits of a professional, full-service move—without the complications of dealing with out-of-state carriers.

Avoiding Common Long Distance Moving Mistakes

Even the most organized moves can go off track if you're not prepared. Here are the most common mistakes we see and how Cardinal helps you avoid them:

Waiting too long to book movers

Spots fill quickly, especially in summer. Booking early with Cardinal gives you more options and less stress.

Underestimating travel time

Many people forget to consider load/unload time, breaks, and traffic. We’ll help you create a realistic timeline.

Packing poorly for long distances

Thin boxes and rushed packing lead to damaged items. We use professional materials and techniques to protect your things for the long haul.

Forgetting to label boxes clearly

Labeling isn’t just for unpacking. We mark everything to help us know which boxes are fragile and keep your move organized.

Not budgeting for the whole move

Moves over 100 miles often require extra services or time. We’ll walk you through every cost so nothing catches you off guard.
