If you are going to move then its best to know what your rights are and be aware of potential red flags for fraud.
Protectyourmove.gov is a website setup by the U.S. Department of Transportation to educate consumers about the rights and the rules regulating interstate moving. Note that I said 'interstate moving'. The rules and regulations that cover interstate moving from one state to another are different than local moves intrastate.
They have many resources on the site for consumers such as information on the following :
Tips for a Successful Move
Moving Checklist
Protect Yourself Against Fraud
Choosing a Reputable Mover
You can also search movers to find complaint history. If you're bored you can even read the laws regulating interstate moving.
