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