Get a real inventory
A virtual or in-home survey produces a far more reliable estimate than a phone guess. Ask whether the quote is binding, non-binding or binding not-to-exceed, and get it in writing.
Understand the delivery window
State-to-state shipments usually deliver within a range of days rather than on a fixed date. Ask how that window is set and how much notice you get before the truck arrives.
Verify the registration
Movers crossing a state line carry a USDOT number and an MC number. Ask for both, and ask whether the company is moving you itself or brokering the job to a carrier.

Frequently asked questions
What makes a move state-to-state?
Your origin and destination are in different states. That's the whole test. A 40-mile move across a state line is a state-to-state move; a 300-mile move inside one state is not.
How far in advance should I book?
Six to eight weeks is a common target, and more during summer.
Can my car ship with my household goods?
Vehicles are normally arranged separately through auto transport, even when the same company coordinates both.
How do I check a mover is legitimate?
Ask for the USDOT number and look it up. It tells you whether the company is registered, whether it's a carrier or a broker, and what insurance it carries.
