How Louisiana licenses movers

A local household-goods move that stays inside Louisiana is an intrastate move, regulated at the state level where Louisiana 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.

Whichever applies, the record is public: look the company up on FMCSA SAFER by name or USDOT number before you sign anything.
