If you’re moving across state lines, you likely need to hire a moving company with a VALID USDOT license. This licensing information comes from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration and applies to a moving company's ability to perform a long distance INTERstate move (for example: from California to Texas). If your move crosses state lines within the same commercial zone, or metropolitan area (for example: DC to Alexandria, VA), it is generally not considered an interstate move and a moving company may not need an "Active" license from FMCSA to perform this type of move. INTRAstate moves (within the same state or city) are regulated by state and local jurisdictions and licensing requirements vary according to locale.Not Authorized
