Once the truck crosses the state line, federal rules apply: a written estimate after a survey, no more than 110% of a non-binding estimate collected at delivery, a choice of valuation, and a delivery window on the bill of lading. Binding vs non-binding estimates, valuation and who regulates movers cover each rule. Every long-distance mover in Illinois is ranked on the state page.
