Is a move inside Indiana regulated the same way as one that leaves it?
No. A move that stays inside Indiana is regulated by the state: what the mover must hold, how it may estimate and what valuation it must offer are set at state level. The moment the truck crosses a state line the FMCSA's rules apply — active interstate authority, a written estimate before loading, the 110% cap on non-binding estimates and an arbitration programme. Ask which set applies before you compare quotes.

174 household-goods carriers based in Indiana are active on the FMCSA register (pulled 2026-09-23). We list the largest by fleet with USDOT and MC numbers so you can read a safety record before you call.
