INTERSTATE RULES
Interstate Moving Rules and Mover Verification
This applies to any move from Arizona to Michigan — verify the licensing and USDOT registration of any mover serving this route and covering both states.
- Why DOT/FMCSA registration matters Any moving company that crosses state lines is required by federal law to be registered with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) and to hold an active USDOT number. This registration is what allows a company to legally operate as an interstate carrier, and it’s the first thing to check before booking a long-distance move.
- Carrier vs. broker Some companies you contact for a quote are the actual movers (carriers) who will load, transport, and deliver your belongings. Others are brokers who collect your information and assign your move to a carrier. Both can be legitimate, but always confirm which one you’re working with, and get the name and USDOT number of the carrier who will actually handle your shipment.
- Insurance and valuation basics Under federal law, interstate movers must offer at least two valuation options: Released Value Protection (minimal coverage based on weight, typically free) and Full Value Protection (higher coverage, usually at additional cost). Ask your mover in writing which options they offer and what each one actually covers.
- How to check a mover's credentials You can verify a moving company’s USDOT number and safety record for free using the FMCSA’s SAFER system (safer.fmcsa.dot.gov). A legitimate interstate mover will not hesitate to share their USDOT number when asked.
LOGISTICS & SEASONALITY
Logistics and Seasonality for Interstate Moves
- Weather and seasonal demand Interstate moves can be affected by seasonal demand and weather along the route. Summer months (May–September) are the busiest for long-distance moving, which can mean higher prices and less availability, while moving in fall or winter often allows more flexibility on dates and pricing.
- Pickup and delivery flexibility Because interstate shipments are often consolidated with other customers’ shipments, delivery is typically given as a window (for example, 2–14 days) rather than a fixed date. Ask your mover for their standard delivery window and whether expedited or guaranteed-date delivery is available, usually at extra cost.
- Storage If your new home isn’t ready when your belongings arrive, most interstate movers offer short-term storage-in-transit as part of, or in addition to, your move. Confirm storage costs and any time limits before you book.
- Access constraints Truck access can vary by address — narrow streets, no elevator, limited parking, or long carry distances can affect price and timing. Let your mover know about any access constraints at both the pickup and delivery addresses when you request your quote.
How We Calculate These Estimates
The city pairs shown on this page are drawn from the interstate moving routes most frequently searched and requested through Price Movers between these two states. Distances shown are calculated as the straight-line (geodesic) distance between representative locations in each city, not the actual driving distance. Your real driving distance and route will depend on your exact pickup and delivery addresses. Cost ranges are estimates based on typical pricing reported for moves of comparable distance and home size on this route. They do not include optional services such as packing, storage, or specialty item handling, and are not a quote — your final price depends on your inventory, exact addresses, and the mover you choose. Movers shown on this page are companies in our directory that report serving the origin or destination area of this route. Inclusion is not an endorsement; always verify a mover’s licensing and insurance before booking.
