MVM Moving was founded as Maumee Valley Movers in 2006 in Toledo, Ohio, by a young owner/operator and a small crew with a passion for excellent customer service. Since then, we have grown to become one of the largest and most reputable locally-owned and operated moving companies in Ohio.
Treating our customers like friends and family has been a successful business plan. We now operate from multiple locations in Toledo, Columbus and Fort Wayne, IN. Our locations include a state-of-the-art 20,000 square foot insulated warehouse, a fleet of 26 fully-equipped moving trucks, a complement of specialized equipment and an expertly trained in-house staff. We even have an in-house repair facility that helps save big bucks on costly truck repairs — savings that we pass directly along to our customers.
Our dedicated staff has been trusted to move items of all shapes and sizes both locally and nationwide. We pride ourselves on our competitive pricing, excellent customer service and the commitment we make to each client that we will treat their belongings as our own.

Moving can be an incredibly stressful time in a person’s life. Between buying, selling, storing, and coordinating everything, it can be very hard to find time to get yourself moved and settled in. Interstate moves are exhausting and stressful, especially when trying to do it all on your own. Hiring a professional long-distance moving company like MVM can help reduce the stress by saving you time and getting you organized and on budget. Our four moving locations in Columbus, Toledo, Fremont and Fort Wayne are all prepared to help you with your long-distance move.
What Is a Long-Distance Move?
For MVM Moving, a long-distance move is any move beyond a 100-mile radius of our Toledo, Columbus, Fremont or moving locations. Typically, out-of-state, or interstate, moves are considered long distance.
MVM Moving is licensed to provide interstate moving services for all states in the continental US. We frequently move clients from Ohio, Indiana, and Michigan, among various other states. Some of the most popular moving destinations include:
Florida
North Carolina
South Carolina
Tennessee
Kentucky
New York
Illinois
Texas
Georgia

Our Long-Distance Moving Process
Although every move is different, our moving process is highly customizable to fit your unique needs, planning an interstate move with MVM Moving follows roughly the same steps:
Consultation – We offer long-distance moving quotes for free over the phone and in person, and we do not require deposits to book our service.
Scheduling – We work with your timeline to set a date for the move and will contact you several days beforehand to confirm.
Packing – If MVM Moving is packing your items for you, our team will arrive the day before loading day to pack.
Loading and Delivery – Our team will carefully load the truck with your belongings before we hit the road to your new destination.
Payment – MVM Moving only accepts payment for work once the move is complete and the client is 100% satisfied.
Throughout the entire moving process, you will have access to the MVM Moving team to ask questions and confirm delivery times.
To offer you peace of mind and make your move as easy and affordable as possible, MVM Moving offers storage to compliment our moving services. Moving can be stressful, especially when it involves months between the day you move out and the day you move in. Whether you are moving to a new home or office or being temporarily displaced by construction, we have a secure, cost-effective storage solution for you.
MVM Moving has three locations, so if you’re seeking moving services in Fort Wayne, IN, Toledo, OH, or Columbus OH, we’re able to assist you in all of your moving needs. Although some of our services may vary depending on location, MVM Moving’s Columbus location offers secure vault storage. Our Toledo, OH moving location offers alternative indoor storage options as well as outdoor options.
How It Works
The storage process with MVM Moving requires very little effort from you. It begins with a free consultation. You’ll chat with one of our experienced estimators — in person or via phone — to determine your storage needs.
On moving day, our professional crews will arrive at your home or business to load up our box trucks with your belongings. Our team will then transport your items to our storage facility where they will be inventoried and secured in large, wooden 5-by-7-by-8-foot shipping vaults. You aren’t required to be present for this part of the move, but rest assured that these vaults will be loaded efficiently to maximize space and protect your items.
Large items that cannot fit into the vault — such as a piano — will be individually wrapped, labeled with your information and stored on pallets in the warehouse. Some of our locations have outdoor storage space, perfect for parking RVs, winterizing boats and storing Jet Skis.
Delivery will be just as easy for you. Simply let us know when you need your items delivered and our team will unload everything in the vault back into our trucks and deliver your belongings to your designated location. To minimize your time and effort involved in the move, our team handles this process internally, so there’s no need for you to be present after we leave to pick up and before we arrive at your final destination.
Our storage services are priced monthly on a rolling basis, and we will gladly prorate your charges should you move in or out mid-month.
Benefits of Warehouse Storage
There are many advantages to our storage solutions:
Easy for You – Unlike self-storage units that require you to provide the labor, hiring MVM Moving makes your moving and storage experience easy. Leave all the loading and unloading of the shipping vaults to us. Our crew of experienced professionals will load and transport your items to pack the shipping vaults, unpack the vaults, and transport and deliver your items — all without you having to be present or lift a finger.
Efficiency – Having your shipping vault loaded by professionals allows for the most efficient moving experience when it comes time to deliver your items. Because our team packed the vault, they will know exactly where large, heavy or fragile items are and how best to pack the truck. Because our warehouse is located on-site, the need to travel to a self-storage unit to pick up your belongings is eliminated, saving you both time and money.
Budget-Friendly – We charge per month, per shipping vault for our storage solutions. And we don’t require payment until after your belongings have been satisfactorily delivered. Moving in or out mid-month? No problem, we’ll gladly prorate our services to save you every dollar possible.
Free Supplies – If you store any large or fragile items with us, they will be wrapped, strapped down or padded using our professional moving materials. We provide these materials at no extra charge.
Security – Your belongings will remain under lock and key at all times while in storage with us. All shipping vaults are self-contained and locked, and they are stored in our secure warehouse. Only MVM Moving staff can access our warehouse and customers do not have access to their vaults while in storage with us. This means that there’s absolutely no public access to the warehouse and no risk of someone accessing your items.
Who Uses Warehouse Storage?
Our warehouse storage offers many benefits, including a high level of security around your items, ease of moving and cost efficiency. We recommend this type of service for anyone who will not need access to the belongings they store, including the following groups:
Families between homes, especially those who have sold their current property and are waiting for their new home to be move-in ready
Traveling professionals who are required to spend months out of town for work
College students who need to leave their belongings locally when they go home for the summer or study abroad
Businesses that are between locations
Retirees who are downsizing their residence
Busy professionals who have minimal time to be involved in the moving and storage process

If you are receiving a non-binding estimate, the charges that your mover assesses on your
shipment must be based on the actual weight of the shipment. Your mover may not lawfully
assess transportation charges on shipments with non-binding estimates on cubic feet, volume,
time (hourly) or on any basis other than weight. Also, the federal regulations require that
shipment weights must be determined on a state certified scale with a copy of the weigh
master’s tickets provided to you in support of the final invoice.
The busiest times for moving companies are typically during the summer months, May-September.
If you are planning a move during that time you should make arrangements early.
Friday and Saturdays are big moving days so if you have flexibility in your schedule it can
be easier to get a date during the week rather than a weekend.
