Primary sources first. Plain English second.

Scope and accountability

Bill Stevens operates MoveDayMap and is responsible for its published editorial standards. The site provides practical moving tools and plain-language guidance; it does not present Bill as a licensed mover, broker, attorney, insurance producer, or regulatory specialist.

This policy applies to guides, state resources, planner explanations, quote-decoder guidance, mover-verification instructions, and other editorial content on movedaymap.com.

Primary-source standard

Federal household-goods moving claims are checked against the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. Address, voting, vehicle, tax, and state-specific requirements use USAGov or the federal, state, or local agency responsible for the rule.

Commercial articles, anonymous summaries, search snippets, and AI-generated answers are not treated as final authority for a regulatory deadline or legal requirement. They may help identify a question, but the published claim must be supported by the responsible primary source.

Claim and source records

For a material regulatory claim, MoveDayMap aims to record the requirement, jurisdiction, circumstances, responsible agency, exact source address, date checked, and any stated exception or limitation. A visible review date does not mean that the agency guarantees the MoveDayMap summary.

General planning suggestions are distinguished from government requirements. Interstate rules are not presented as applying automatically to local or intrastate moves.

Original explanation and practical value

MoveDayMap summarizes sources in original language and connects them to a practical task, question, comparison, or official next step. It does not republish agency pages or create location pages merely to repeat the same text.

New state pages are published only when they contain substantial, reviewed information that adds value beyond a national directory link.

Review schedule and stale information

Time-sensitive material is reviewed before publication. The project standard is to review material regulatory claims at least quarterly after launch and sooner when an agency announces a relevant change or a documented correction is received.

When current information cannot be confirmed, MoveDayMap should say so, narrow the claim, link the responsible agency, or remove the unsupported statement rather than guess.

AI-assisted work

AI tools may assist with drafting, code, organization, accessibility checks, and locating potential sources. AI output is not treated as evidence for a legal or regulatory claim.

Material factual statements are checked against the cited source before publication. MoveDayMap does not represent AI-assisted content as professional review by a mover, attorney, regulator, insurer, or financial adviser.

Corrections and material updates

Correction reports should identify the page, disputed statement, and supporting official source. A verified correction should update the visible explanation, related tool data, source record, and review date where applicable.

MoveDayMap does not silently preserve a known material error to protect traffic or revenue. Minor wording and formatting changes may be made without a separate correction notice.

Mover references and comparisons

MoveDayMap does not label a mover safe, trustworthy, best, or legally compliant solely from a price, user entry, advertising relationship, or incomplete database result. Visitors are directed to official registration information and their written documents.

Quote comparisons prioritize transparent categories, missing terms, and useful questions. The lowest displayed total is not automatically identified as the best choice.

Advertising and commercial independence

Advertising, sponsorships, or affiliate relationships do not determine checklist order, regulatory conclusions, quote flags, or mover-verification instructions. Advertising must remain visually distinct from navigation and tool controls.

Sponsored or affiliate content is clearly labeled. MoveDayMap will not ask visitors to click advertisements to support the site, and payment will not convert an advertiser into an endorsed provider.

Contact and review date
