Nearest first. For a long-distance job the crew's base matters less than the lane: ask who drives your route with their own trucks.

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.

Long-distance moving from Somerset: questions people ask
How many long-distance movers are there in Somerset, NJ?
3 carriers registered in Somerset hold interstate operating authority, and 31 more within 30 miles do. Interstate authority is what a move across a state line legally requires; a carrier without it can only do the job as an agent of a van line that has it.
How much does a long-distance move from Somerset cost?
Long-distance moves are priced on weight and distance. In our model a two-bedroom home works out to about $5.00 per mile: $475 – $775 to New York City, NY (about 34 miles) and $12,699 – $16,932 to Los Angeles, CA (about 2,822 miles), transport only. Packing, storage and access charges are extra.
Who is the largest long-distance mover near Somerset?
By reported fleet, Budd Van Lines Inc in Somerset, NJ, with 124 trucks (USDOT 185771). Fleet is self-reported and measures capacity, not care.
What rules apply once the truck crosses a state line?
Federal rules: a survey before the estimate, a written binding or non-binding estimate (a non-binding one may not be exceeded by more than 110% at delivery), two valuation options, a delivery window stated on the bill of lading, and a neutral arbitration program for claims. The mover must give you the FMCSA booklet on your rights before the move.
Is this list a recommendation?
