Download the Checklist
Pro Movers Inc. recommends reviewing the FMCSA moving checklist before booking an interstate or long distance move. It helps customers understand estimates, documents, mover responsibilities, delivery details, and important moving-day preparation.
The FMCSA “Ready to Move?” brochure gives customers a simple reference before choosing a mover and preparing for an interstate relocation. It is especially useful when you want to understand what to ask, what to review, and what documents should be kept during the moving process.
Before your move, download the checklist, review the key sections, and keep a copy with your moving paperwork.
Before You Book
A little preparation before booking can prevent confusion later. Use these steps as a practical starting point before confirming your moving company.
Review the mover’s business information, service area, licensing details when applicable, reviews, and communication process before scheduling your move.
Make sure you understand what is included in your quote, what may change the final cost, and which services are optional or additional.
Save your estimate, confirmation details, inventory notes, bill of lading, payment records, and any written communication about your move.
Confirm parking, elevators, stairs, loading zones, building rules, gate codes, and any restrictions at both pickup and delivery locations.
Tell your mover about pianos, safes, appliances, antiques, oversized furniture, fragile items, or anything requiring special handling.
Do not wait until moving day to ask about timing, packing, valuation, payment, cancellation, or service limitations.
Move Preparation
Use this quick checklist with the FMCSA brochure to stay organized before your movers arrive.
