Why work with a Move Advisor
Less time on the phone, less money spent, less stress on move day...
Your advisor gathers the quotes, handles the calls, the comparisons and the paperwork review, so you can focus on the rest of your move.
Save Time
Skip the sales calls. Your advisor collects and compares quotes for you, so you don’t spend hours calling movers on your own.
Save Money
Every quote is checked against real pricing data for your route, and your advisor negotiates when a truck has open space headed your way.
Eliminate Surprises & Hidden Fees
Quotes are based on one accurate inventory, and your advisor helps you get a binding or not-to-exceed estimate before you sign.
Protect Your Move
Only licensed, insured carriers with a clean record make your shortlist, and your advisor is on call from pickup through delivery.

About U.S. Moving Protection
Our Story
U.S. Moving Protection started with a simple belief: moving should be safe and simple. Consumers should not be charged with hidden fees and surprises during the move process. What began as a mission to help people avoid moving scams has grown into a nonprofit resource focused on making interstate moving safer, simpler, and stress free.
We help consumers understand what their move should cost, compare moving options, and avoid common problems before moving day. We’re not a moving company. We’re not a broker. We’re your resource to move safely.

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