Option 3

Schedule a walkthrough with a move advisor

An advisor joins you on video and walks the home with you, confirming counts and dimensions as you go. Typically 20 to 30 minutes. No charge, no obligation to book.

Benchmarks come from tariff filings and documented estimates, published as ranges with their sources named.

Complaint investigation

First-party complaints are investigated and reflected in the public carrier record.

Know Your Rights and Responsibilities

Before moving your household goods interstate, movers are required to give you the Your Rights and Responsibilities When You Move booklet and FMCSA’s Ready to Move brochure to help you understand the documents that a mover will ask you to sign, and explains your rights if your household goods are lost or damaged during a long distance move.

Get the booklet and brochure

Required under 49 CFR Part 375. Published by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration; USMPO is not affiliated with FMCSA.
