Moving to a New State? What to Know About Licensing & Insurance

Interstate moves come with more than just miles—they come with regulations. Ensuring your moving company is properly licensed and insured isn’t optional—it’s essential for protecting your belongings and your peace of mind.

✅ USDOT Licensed

All legitimate interstate movers must be registered with the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT). This ensures they meet federal safety and operational standards.

✅ Fully Insured

Coverage matters. Confirm your mover provides adequate insurance options, including valuation coverage for your belongings.

✅ Transparent Moving with Documentation

A professional moving company will always provide binding or non-binding estimates, clearly outline services, and offer written contracts that comply with federal guidelines.
