Why Using a Licensed Interstate Mover Matters
Not all moving companies can legally transport your belongings across state lines. Here's why licensing matters:
Federal Protection
Licensed interstate movers are regulated by the FMCSA. This means we must maintain proper insurance, follow safety standards, and provide you with specific consumer protections. If something goes wrong, you have federal recourse.
Insurance Requirements
We're required to carry minimum cargo insurance and liability coverage. This protects your belongings throughout the interstate journey. Unlicensed movers may have no coverage at all.
Written Estimates & Contracts
Federal law requires us to provide written estimates and contracts detailing services and costs. No verbal agreements or surprise charges.
Claims Process
If damage occurs, licensed movers must follow a regulated claims process. We have 30 days to acknowledge claims and 120 days to resolve them.
Interstate Moving Coverage
We're licensed to move you between any of the 48 continental United States. Whether you're moving from coast to coast or to a neighboring state, we've got you covered.
