The route
A genuine long haul at 1,932 miles from Ohio to Utah. Almost all of these move as consolidated freight: your goods share a trailer and the carrier quotes 7 to 14 days rather than a date. It is why a two-bedroom home here runs $8,694 – $11,592 instead of scaling straight with distance, and also why there is more handling and a looser schedule.

Worked example: a two-bedroom home, Columbus to Saint George
1,932 miles × 2.0 (two-bedroom size multiplier) × $2.50 (full-service rate) = $9,660. The range runs 10% under that to 20% over: $8,694 to $11,592, transport only. Every parameter is on the methodology page; moving cost per mile explains why the rate falls with distance.
How many people move from Columbus to Saint George
The county-to-county table of the Census Bureau's American Community Survey (2016–2020) has no estimate for Franklin County, OH to Washington County, UT, but the wider metro table does: about 72 people a year (±82) moved from the Columbus, OH metro area to the St. George, UT metro area. The margin of error is as large as the estimate, so read it as a handful of households rather than a count. The other way: about 169 people a year (±191).
At state level, the 2024 survey counts about 1,834 people a year (±1,194) moving from Ohio to Utah and about 1,818 people a year (±1,047) from Utah to Ohio — a net gain for Utah of about 16 people a year.

How these figures are calculated

Rules that apply to this move
Because the truck crosses from Ohio into Utah, 49 CFR Part 375 applies: a written estimate before loading, no more than 110% of a non-binding estimate collected at delivery, and full-value protection unless you choose released value in writing. See binding vs non-binding estimates and valuation explained.
Before you book Columbus to Saint George
Insist on a survey
Over 1,932 miles the price is driven almost entirely by weight. A quote given without a video or in-home survey is a guess that gets revised upward on loading day, and at this distance the revision is expensive.
Keep full-value protection
It is the default on an interstate move. Signing it away for released value means 60 cents per pound, about $18 for a 30 lb television, after 1,932 miles of handling.
