Industry Regulation
Who regulates the moving industry?
If you are moving locally, check with your local regulatory
agency. It varies from state to state. When moving interstate, The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), which
is part of the U. S. Department of Transportation, regulates interstate moving. The FHWA consists of Washington
Headquarters, Regional Offices, three Federal Lands Highway Division Offices, and Division Offices across the
United States. The FHWA Division structure includes 52 Federal-aid Division Offices located in each state, the
District of Columbia, and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. In addition, there are 52 motor carrier field elements,
usually co-located with Federal-aid Division Offices. Approximately 3,400 men and women make up the FHWA's
workforce across this country. Note: The Interstate Commerce Commission formerly regulated interstate moving,
however, interstate movers still have ICCMC (Interstate Commerce Commission Motor Carrier) license numbers.
