Federal Consumer Protection & FMCSA Standards

Under federal law (49 U.S.C. 14104), interstate moving companies must be registered with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) and provide customers with the official booklet "Your Rights and Responsibilities When You Move". Our calculation models use published tariff formulas, standardized linehaul rates, and US Census Bureau migration data.
