Local Moving Services in Akron, Canton & Northeast Ohio
The Premium Choice for Local Residential Moves
When it comes to local moving, not all companies are created equal. RLD Relocation & Logistics brings the same premium equipment, experienced crews, and meticulous care to every local move that we apply to our long distance and corporate relocations. We are not a franchise operation with day laborers — we are a professional, locally-owned company with over 500 combined years of moving experience with one of the lowest claims ratios in the region.
We serve Akron, Canton, Massillon, Green, Hudson, Medina, Wooster, Alliance, and all surrounding communities throughout Northeast Ohio. Whether you are moving across the street or across the county, you deserve a mover who treats your belongings with the same care they would give their own.
Under 50 Miles & In-State Moves (Intrastate)
There's a reason why area realtors refer their clients to our company when schedules are tight and you have to be out of your home and into your new one.
For moves over 50 miles and in-state (intrastate) moves within Ohio, RLD provides the same full-service experience that has made us the trusted choice of Fortune 500 companies and discriminating homeowners alike. Our late-model, air-ride equipped trucks provide a smoother ride than standard moving vehicles, protecting your furniture from the bumps and vibrations that cause damage during transport.
Our crews are experienced, uniformed professionals who take pride in their work. We use 90-thread-count moving pads — the highest quality in the industry — to wrap and protect every piece of furniture. We lay down carpet protection and floor protection in your home, ensuring your floors and walls are not damaged during the move. When we leave, your new home looks exactly as it did when we arrived.

Packing Services
Professional packing is the single most effective way to protect your belongings during a move. Our trained packing crews use premium materials and proven techniques to ensure every item — from everyday dishes to irreplaceable heirlooms — is properly protected for transport. We offer full-service packing, partial packing for specific rooms or items, and specialty packing for fragile, high-value, or oversized items.

Some items require more than boxes and packing paper. Our custom crating services provide the highest level of protection for high-value, fragile, or irregularly shaped items. Our craftsmen build custom wooden crates sized precisely for your items, providing a rigid, protective shell that withstands the rigors of transport. Crating is ideal for fine art, antiques, sculptures, mirrors, glass-top furniture, electronics, and any item that requires maximum protection.

Storage in Transit (SIT) & Permanent Storage — Climate Controlled
Sometimes your new home isn't ready when your old one is. RLD's climate-controlled storage facility at our North Canton campus provides a secure, clean, and professional environment for your belongings, whether you need storage for a few days or several months. Our facility is one of only 10 NTS-approved (Non-Temporary Storage) facilities in Northeast Ohio, meaning it meets the rigorous standards required for military and government storage.
At RLD, our storage services can cater to an array of different goals and needs. Discover some of the uses for renting a storage unit below!
- Decluttering: One of the most useful reasons for storage space is for decluttering. As you work to organize your home or business space, you might need space for items in the interim or want to store certain items in a unit instead of entirely decluttering them. This storage space can offer more flexibility as you work to declutter your home.
- Seasonal Storage: Seasonal items such as holiday decorations, winter clothing, or summer sports equipment aren’t needed year-round, and dedicating space to them in your home may not make sense 365 days a year. Renting a storage unit for seasonal storage space can greatly improve the organization of your home and offer extra room for your other belongings.
- Inventory Management: For your business, a storage unit can be the perfect place for inventory management. By having a separate area to maintain overflow of inventory or seasonal stock, you can more efficiently manage your business in an organized fashion. This extra space can go a long way for your business goals and needs.
- Relocating: The most popular reason for utilizing storage space is completing a move. Moving can be stressful, and having extra space to store your belongings in the interim can be incredibly helpful. Your storage unit can serve as the ideal spot to keep your packed boxes as you prepare for your upcoming move.
Business Archives & Records Storage
Storing business documents is not as simple as stacking boxes in a unit. Active records, legal files, financial documents, and historical archives require a controlled, organized, and secure environment to remain accessible, intact, and compliant with industry regulations. Our dedicated records storage solutions go far beyond a standard storage unit, providing the structure, security, and chain-of-custody documentation that businesses and regulated industries demand.
- Climate-Controlled Vaults: Temperature and humidity regulation prevents paper degradation, ink fading, and mold — critical for long-term document preservation.
- Indexed & Catalogued Storage: Files are organized and logged so specific records can be retrieved quickly without sorting through entire archives.
- Chain-of-Custody Tracking: Every access, retrieval, and return is documented, providing the audit trail required by legal, financial, and healthcare compliance standards.
- Secure, Restricted Access: Locked, monitored facilities with access limited to authorized personnel only — protecting sensitive and confidential business information.
- Retention & Destruction Scheduling: We can help manage document lifecycles, flagging records for scheduled destruction in accordance with your retention policy and applicable regulations.
Our warehouse features polished, sealed concrete floors that eliminate dust, zone-controlled climate systems that maintain your desired temperature and humidity, a laser beam security system, fire suppression sprinklers, and 24/7 monitoring. Your belongings are inventoried using our electronic barcode system, so you always know exactly what is in storage and where it is located.
