A local household-goods move that stays inside Idaho is an intrastate move, regulated at the state level where Idaho requires operating authority; any move that crosses a state line needs a federal USDOT number with household-goods authority. You can verify any mover's USDOT status yourself on the FMCSA SAFER system before you sign.

You can verify any mover's USDOT status yourself on the FMCSA SAFER system before you sign. Whichever applies, the record is public: look the company up on FMCSA SAFER by name or USDOT number before you sign anything.
