Interstate scope: this workflow is built around FMCSA’s interstate household-goods guidance. For a move entirely within one state, check the state or local consumer-protection authority for the rules that apply.

A three-part method

Use the official record, then check the documents.

Match the identity

Search the name and number from the estimate. Record differences in company name, address, role, or identifier rather than assuming they are harmless.

Review the authority

For an interstate household-goods move, use the official result to review registration, operating authority, insurance filing information, and complaint history.

Close the gaps in writing

Identify the transporting mover, keep the required consumer materials, and make sure the inventory, services, timing, and payment terms match the written estimate.

Verification and price comparison belong together.

A clean checklist does not make an incomplete quote complete. Compare the charges, exclusions, delivery window, valuation choice, and payment terms before deciding.
