Prepare for your move

Prepare for your move:

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration is here to help. Our Protect Your Move campaign will:

  • Help you learn to spot the red flags of moving fraud.
  • Provide tips for a successful move.
  • Help you understand your rights and responsibilities, and;
  • Provide a handy moving checklist for before and during your move.

The Federal government, state and local law enforcement agencies, and the legitimate moving industry have joined forces to combat moving fraud, but you have an important role to play as well. If you're planning to move, it's important to do your research and plan for a smooth move.

How do people prefer to move?

Know your rights before you move:


written-estimateWritten Estimate:

Dated and signed document outlining all charges, including transportation, and advanced charges as well as liability coverage information for each shipment transported by your mover.

bill-loadingBill of Lading:

Documentation of your moving contract's terms and conditions, which often doubles as the freight bill, or total cost of transportation.

order-of-serviceOrder of Service:

Written confirmation of the shipment services you requested, including moving dates, amount of liability chosen, contact information, etc.

shipment-inventoryShipment Inventory:

Record of the existence and condition of each item moved.

Additional Moving Tips:-

  • never sign a blank or incomplete estimate unless your final moving cost is determined after your move and based on the actual services provided.
  • Do not agree to have shipment picked up or delivered "as soon as possible."
  • Never sign a receipt if it contains language releasing or discharging your mover from liability.
