When moving, consumers are protected by federal and state agencies. If you’re moving out-of-state, you can search FMCSA’s mover database for up-to-date access to authorized interstate movers and their complaint history or call FMCSA at 800-832-5660. (FMCSA is an agency within the Department of Transportation.)  If you're moving to a new location within the same state, check with your state, county or local consumer affairs agency or state moving association. Each state has rules and regulations for moving household goods within the state.
