What's Driving Residential Moving Demand in Ohio
Intel's roughly $28 billion chip manufacturing campus under construction in New Albany, just outside Columbus, is projected to bring 3,000 direct Intel jobs plus tens of thousands of supplier and support jobs to central Ohio, and every one of those households needs somewhere to live within commuting distance. That single project has already strained the regional housing supply enough that local housing advocates have publicly questioned where the incoming workforce will live. As new subdivisions get built out in New Albany, Gahanna, and Westerville to absorb that demand, each home sale or new-construction closing generates a residential move. This is a fundamentally different growth story than Ohio's broader population trends, it's concentrated construction-and-hiring-driven demand tied to one specific megaproject.
Licensing in Ohio: Ohio requires any for-hire household goods mover conducting point-to-point moves within the state to hold a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity from the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio, under authority set out in Ohio Revised Code Sections 4921.30 through 4921.38 and Ohio Administrative Code Chapter 4901:2-19. Applicants file a Household Goods Certificate Application (Form H), must hold a USDOT number, carry liability coverage of $750,000 plus cargo insurance, and file a rate tariff with PUCO before operating. Movers must display their PUCO certificate number in advertisements and on their vehicles, and operating without one can draw fines of $1,000 to $10,000 per violation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are the movers I'm connected with licensed and insured?
Licensing and insurance requirements for movers vary by state and provider. Ask the provider directly about their credentials and coverage before your move, especially for long-distance moves or high-value items.
How do I know what kind of moving service I need?
The right service usually comes down to what's happening — a full household move, just extra hands for loading, or help with one heavy or delicate item all point to different types of jobs. When you call, describe exactly what you're dealing with and we'll help match you with a provider suited to that specific situation.
