What makes MovingRated different from every other moving site
Most moving sites are lead-generation marketplaces: you enter your details, the form sells them to four to six carriers at $40–$120 per submission per FMCSA Office of Inspector General analysis of broker economics, and you field a week of sales calls. Those sites work for the movers who pay them — not for you.
MovingRated is your advocate. Our concierge model is the opposite: you tell us once, we do the homework, and you never repeat your inventory to seven different strangers. When you use our guides, we publish the numbers instead of selling your data — what a move of your home size and distance actually costs, segmented by region and season, with the regulatory and operational deadlines that drive move-day risk.
Cost ranges reflect AMSA industry estimates for full-service local and interstate moves and the same per-mile, per-pound math our cost calculator uses. Nothing here is pay-to-rank, and we never sell or share what you enter. See our editorial standards for the full policy.
Pay only after the call · No obligation · We never sell your data.

On every state guide page
Average local and interstate move costs, broken down by home size, distance, and season. The deadlines you'll face after arrival — vehicle registration, voter registration, school enrollment. Climate and seasonal notes that affect scheduling and price. And ten to twelve question-format FAQs covering the regulatory, financial, and operational specifics of a move to that state.
How state guides cover the parts of a move you forget
Most relocation content focuses on packing and pickup-day logistics. State guides on MovingRated cover the operational reality after the truck leaves: the 30-day vehicle registration deadline in most states (60 days in a few like Florida and Texas), voter registration cutoffs that vary from 15 to 30 days before the next election per state Secretary of State rules, school enrollment within 5-10 business days of the child's first day in residence per state Department of Education guidance, and the state licensing agency that governs intrastate household-goods carriers — different in every state (NY DOT, PA PUC, CA CPUC, TX TDLR, FL FDACS, CO PUC, etc.).
Cost ranges on each state guide reflect AMSA industry estimates for full-service local and interstate moves, segmented by region within the state where local labor markets differ materially. Each state also carries 10-12 question-format FAQs covering the regulatory, financial, and operational specifics that drive move-day risk. See the Texas, California, or New York guides for representative depth.
