South on I-71, the Ohio River is the only real landmark between Cincinnati and Louisville, and DSL Moving crosses it with the same two movers who packed your truck that morning — not a relay team waiting on the Kentucky side.
Route Details
I-71 runs south out of Cincinnati, crosses the Ohio River into Kentucky, and continues through Carrollton before reaching Louisville — the shortest interstate leg in our lineup after Lexington. Curtis Voss’s crew often loads this run before 8 a.m. and has it unloaded by early afternoon.
- Distance: 100 miles
- Corridor: I-71 south, Ohio River crossing
- Drive time: about 1 hour 30 minutes
One Signature, One Number
“Crossing the river into Kentucky doesn’t reset the meter — the number we sign in Cincinnati is the number due at your Louisville door.” — Daniel Scott Lang, owner
The walkthrough accounts for bedroom count and any stairs at either address. Nothing changes once the truck is loaded and rolling.

Moving Cincinnati to Louisville?
One Cincinnati-based crew handles both ends of the haul, riding the whole route under a single locked price
Brody’s crew loads the truck in Cincinnati, rides along the entire way, and unloads it themselves at the other end — your things never change trucks and never pass through a broker or a load board. Whatever number DSL Moving signs off on before pickup is the number on the invoice at delivery.
