There are different types of moves that companies may help you perform, including long distance (interstate) and local (intrastate) moves. Long distance moves are classified as any move in which belongings are transported across state lines, no matter how long or short the distance travelled is.
A local move is considered any move that does not cross state lines. Local moves are bound to state laws, but some states may not have any regulations in place for movers. If you’re not sure of the policies in your state, look at information provided by the Attorney General of your state.
