🚛 Important Notice for Interstate Moves
If you’re hiring a moving company to transport your belongings across state lines, it’s essential to ensure they are properly licensed as a Household Goods (HHG) Mover with the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT).

Why This Matters:
Legal Compliance: Movers must have HHG authority to legally operate across state lines. Doing so without it is a federal offense.
Consumer Protection: Licensed movers are required to follow a tariff, which ensures fair and transparent pricing.
Peace of Mind: A mover willing to break federal law may not care about your belongings, your contract, or your rights.
✅ How to Protect Yourself:
Ask your mover for their DOT number.
Visit the official FMCSA website.
Enter the DOT number in the search tool.
Confirm that their Operating Authority Status says:
“AUTHORIZED FOR HHG”
Don’t risk your move with an unlicensed or rogue mover. Take a moment to verify—your peace of mind is worth it.

Looking to move across state lines? Make informed decisions by understanding:

• ✅ The difference between a broker and a mover
