What changes when the truck crosses the state line
Federal rules replace state rules
Interstate household-goods moves fall under the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration: a survey before the estimate, a written estimate, the consumer booklet on your rights, an arbitration program for claims.
Binding or non-binding
A binding estimate fixes the price for the listed inventory. A non-binding estimate can grow, but the mover may not require more than 110% of it at delivery and must give 30 days for the balance.
Two valuation options
Released value pays 60 cents per pound per article at no charge. Full value protection is the default unless you waive it in writing. Decide before the truck is loaded.
A delivery window, not a day
Your goods usually share a truck, so the carrier quotes a spread of dates that must appear on the bill of lading. Pack a week of essentials to travel with you.
Whose USDOT number
A van-line agent moves you under the van line's authority; an independent under its own; a broker under a carrier you have not met. The number on the bill of lading is the company responsible for your goods.
Weight, not cubic feet
Interstate moves are priced on weight and distance. A quote in cubic feet is the easiest figure in the business to inflate after loading.
