Logan, UT → Dayton, OH · Cross-country move
About 1,707 road miles heading east. Typical two-bedroom cost $6,100–$9,070, delivery in 5–10 days, 57 carriers on the Logan side and 349 in Dayton.
Dayton sits about 1,707 miles east of Logan, which makes this an interstate relocation from Utah to Ohio that most movers classify as a cross-country move.
At this distance carriers price by shipment weight and mileage rather than by the hour. A two-bedroom home (around 5,000 lb of goods) typically costs $6,100 to $9,070 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 5 to 10 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 30 hours (4 driving days).
On the Logan side there are 57 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (41 of them authorized for interstate work), and 349 around Dayton (240 interstate). For an interstate move you can book from either end; movers near the origin handle loading and are usually the better first call, while a destination-side company can be useful if you need storage or delivery-day help in Dayton.
Logan has a population of about 55,000 and Dayton about 136,688. The two cities have comparable density (2,924 and 2,467 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends.

About 1,707 road miles (1,447 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 30 hours (4 driving days).
Expect a delivery window of 5 to 10 days after pickup. Carriers give a spread rather than a fixed date because long-distance trucks carry several shipments; a dedicated truck or expedited service shortens the window for an extra fee.
Yes. Crossing from Utah into Ohio makes this an interstate move, so the carrier must hold active FMCSA operating authority (an MC number) in addition to its USDOT number. The company cards on this page flag which carriers are authorized for interstate work.
A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $2,350 to $3,320 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,540 to $3,740. Both save money versus a full-service crew but you do the loading, and container transit can take longer than a mover's delivery window.
Rates are highest in summer and around the last days of any month, when demand peaks. Mid-month, mid-week and winter dates are usually quoted below the standard rate. Booking four to eight weeks ahead gives you the widest choice of carriers on the Logan–Dayton corridor.
