Is a move inside North Dakota regulated the same way as one that leaves it?
No. A move that stays inside North Dakota 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.
