GREATER CINCINNATI MOVERS · FLAT-RATE PRICE-LOCK GUARANTEE · CINCINNATI, OH

DSL Moving

We’re the Cincinnati and Greater Cincinnati movers who write the number down before we touch a single box — whatever’s on your quote is what lands on your invoice, nothing more. No fuel line added at the curb, no surprise stair fee, no new charge dreamed up mid-move. We’ve run trucks out of Camp Washington since 2015, carrying a full OH HHG license and $1M in cargo coverage on every single load.

Melissa Ferring picks this up herself at the Camp Washington office and calls back same-day with a written price — ask for Daniel Scott Lang directly if you’d rather talk to the owner, he still answers his own line. Nothing about your ZIPs or your date gets forwarded anywhere else: no lead resold, no subcontractor showing up in an unmarked truck, no stranger at your door who’s never heard the name DSL Moving before today.

“Just finished up our move and we are SO pleased with the service. Our movers were Trent, Aaron, and Curtis, and they were so kind, efficient, and nothing at all was broken/lost. They made moving as stress-free as it could be. We've moved a few times and they were the best movers we've had so far! Highly recommend.”

Norwood-Raised, Third Generation

One Yard On Spring Grove, All Of Greater Cincinnati

Daniel Scott Lang grew up in Norwood, where his grandfather once ran a hauling outfit out of Camp Washington — so when Daniel opened DSL Moving in 2015 after eight years managing routes for a regional mover, the rule was simple: the number you sign is the number you pay. 11 years later, that’s still the only pricing model we run.

Every mover on the crew is W-2, background-checked, and trained out of the Spring Grove Avenue yard — no leased trucks, no staffing-app strangers. Whether it’s a walk-up in Mason or a split-level near Sharonville, the same pads, dollies, and quoted price show up, backed by a current Ohio HHG license and US DOT/MC authority for anything crossing state lines.

What We Run Every Week

Cincinnati Move & Specialty Menu

A $289 upright piano across town and a $1,225 three-bedroom heading south on I-71 toward Louisville get quoted the same way — whatever number goes out with the estimate is the number on the invoice. Brody’s crew has done plenty of small-office moves too, including a handful booked on a few days’ notice, weekday or Saturday, with no rush fee tacked on.

What Sets Us Apart

Why Cincinnati Households Stick With DSL Moving

Licensing Locked Down

Fully licensed OH household-goods mover, DOT and MC authority filed for interstate work, full-value cargo protection on every move — a Hyde Park two-flat or a Cincinnati-to-Louisville haul on I-71, the paperwork is settled before Curtis pulls a truck out of the yard.

What's On The Quote Is What's On The Invoice

Ask five other movers what “flat rate” actually means and you’ll get five different answers once the truck’s loaded — a fuel line here, a stair charge there. Trent builds all of that in up front, so wrapping the banister, padding doorframes, and protecting hundred-year-old hardwood in a Clifton bungalow never turns into a surprise line item. Weekends don’t cost extra. Cards don’t cost extra. The number is the number.

The Price-Lock Guarantee, In Writing

Every quote from DSL Moving is the actual number your crew works from, not a placeholder subject to change once the truck is loaded. No line item shows up that wasn’t on the paper you signed. Daniel built the whole pricing model around that one rule after watching add-on charges turn a fair estimate into a bad afternoon, more times than he cared to count.

Trent Only Has To Look Once

Fifteen minutes on video or a short in-person visit, and Trent Oberholtzer has counted every stair, every heavy piece, every doorway that’s going to need extra care — all of it lands on the estimate before your move day arrives, so the crew isn’t discovering surprises with a couch halfway through a doorframe.

Born & Based in Cincinnati

Neighborhood-Level Knowledge of Cincinnati & Greater Cincinnati

No out-of-state call center answering your call. Our crew already knows the tight Mt. Adams streets, the Over-the-Rhine freight elevators, the no-elevator Hyde Park walk-ups — 11 years of real Cincinnati addresses baked into every quote.

Across The Greater Cincinnati Corridor

Routes That Cover All Of Greater Cincinnati

Trucks leave the Camp Washington yard heading four directions on a normal week: I-75 up through Sharonville and Blue Ash, I-71 out toward Mason and Loveland, I-74 on the westside, and the I-275 loop connecting the rest. Anywhere on that map, or close enough to it, Aaron can typically find you a slot inside seven days.

A Note From Daniel

The Owner Signs Every Price-Lock Quote

“I still answer my own phone most days, and I still sign every quote before it goes out — not because I don’t trust the team, but because that promise is the whole reason DSL Moving exists. If the number I sign isn’t the number you pay, I’ve failed at the one job that matters.”

What Daniel Bakes Into Every Written Quote

You won't find an add-on fee buried anywhere in a DSL Moving quote — the crew, the truck rolling out of Camp Washington, every pad and dolly, plus federal cargo coverage are already folded into the one number you get. Everything listed below rides along at no extra charge.

Daniel Signs It — It Doesn’t Move After That

  • Antiques crated, breakables individually wrapped, heirlooms padded and carried by hand — not stacked and hoped for
  • Card, Zelle, or check accepted at close-out, with zero surcharge for using plastic
  • Fuel and a full W-2 crew are already baked in, whether the job needs the 26-ft box truck or the smaller 16-ft van
  • Every dollar figure gets locked in writing before move day — nothing renegotiated once the last box is on the truck
  • $1M cargo policy covers every DSL Moving load, no exceptions by distance or size
  • Mt. Adams and Fairview steps get walk-boards, piano boards, and stair dollies at no added equipment charge
  • Placed-in-room unload and basic reassembly are part of the job, not a separate line item
  • Shrink-wrap and weatherproofing hold up whether the crew’s out in a July heat wave or an icy February morning
  • Federal $0.60-per-pound coverage applies automatically; upgrading to full-value protection gets priced on the same sheet, before the truck leaves Camp Washington

Common Cincinnati Questions

DSL Moving, Answered Plainly

What does a move around Cincinnati actually cost?
Two ways to get there, and Trent walks you through both on the estimate call. Billed hourly, a two-mover crew runs $99, three movers run $139, four run $179, with the clock starting once the truck parks at your curb. Prefer to skip the clock? A flat band by home size runs $299 for a one-bedroom, $649 for a two-bedroom, $1,225 for a three-bedroom. Either way, whatever number lands on your written quote is the number on the invoice — nothing gets added once the truck is loaded.
Is DSL Moving actually licensed to work in Ohio?
Yes. Local jobs run under our Ohio household-goods mover license, and anything crossing state lines — up I-71 to Columbus, down I-75 to Louisville — travels on our own US DOT and MC interstate authority. A million dollars in cargo coverage rides on every truck regardless of distance, and Melissa will send our certificate of insurance to any property manager who asks for one ahead of move day.
What comes with a full-service DSL Moving booking?
Everything between your old front door and the new one, and the invoice still matches the quote at the end. The crew wraps furniture, breaks down bed frames and dining tables, and pads doorways before anything wide goes through them. Would rather not box the place yourself? We bring tape, paper, and boxes and pack full or partial. Local job or long-distance haul, apartment or house — the same trained crew handles both ends so you are not juggling separate companies on move day.
My move is three weeks out — is it too late to book?
Three weeks is plenty, honestly, unless you’re after a Saturday in the last week of the month — those go first. Aaron tracks the weekday openings separately, and a Tuesday or Wednesday date can go from a phone call to a confirmed truck in under 48 hours. Give him a call at (888) 278-9005 and he’ll pull up the actual calendar while you’re on the line.
Do I have to put money down to reserve a date?
Just $95, and it’s not an extra charge — that amount comes straight off the final invoice rather than getting tacked on. Doesn’t matter if it’s a two-hour job across Norwood or a long-haul date in the middle of our busiest August week: the deposit is what actually reserves the truck, and Melissa settles the rest with you once the crew is done.
How much of the Cincinnati area do you actually cover?
Blue Ash, Mason, West Chester, Norwood, Sharonville, Fairfield, Hamilton, Loveland, and Milford see us weekly, and that footprint stretches across Hamilton, Butler, Warren, and Clermont Counties plus Kenton County on the Kentucky side of the river. Further out, Columbus, Indianapolis, Louisville, and Nashville are regular destinations for the long-haul side of the business.
If my closing date slips, can you hold my things at your yard?
Yes. The Camp Washington yard has secure indoor storage, and most clients use it for a few weeks between a move-out and a delayed closing or lease start. It runs a flat $90 a month, and when you’re ready, the same crew that picked it up brings it back out — no re-delivery fee, no renegotiated price.
How do you actually price a Cincinnati move — hourly, flat, or something else?
Depends on the job. Local moves run hourly by crew size: $99/hr for two movers, $139/hr for three, $179/hr for four. Most studios and 1-beds land near a flat $299, 2-beds around $649, 3-beds close to $1,225 once Trent walks the inventory with you. Long-distance runs (Columbus, Louisville, Nashville, Chicago, and beyond) always get a flat number in writing before the truck loads — and whatever lands on that quote is what lands on your invoice.
Is a deposit required, and can I get it back if plans change?
Yes — $95, applied against your final bill rather than added on top of it. Give 72 hours’ notice if plans change and you get every cent back, no store credit, no argument about it. Most families call Melissa around the two-week mark, which gives enough runway to have your date locked and a written figure in hand well before move day.
What happens if something gets damaged during the move?
Every DSL Moving truck carries federal released-value liability as the baseline, plus our full-value cargo protection on every move on the cargo side. Got a piano, a server rack, or estate antiques on the truck? Trent walks you through full-value protection before anything is signed — never pitched at the curb after the fact.
Do you handle Certificates of Insurance for apartment or condo buildings?
Regularly. Over-the-Rhine lofts, Hyde Park co-ops, and most West Chester and Mason property managers ask for one naming the building as additional-insured. Send Melissa the management contact and the COI is filed at no charge, well ahead of your move date.
