Do I need a licensed mover for a move within Connecticut?

Moves that stay inside Connecticut are regulated by the state rather than the FMCSA. Most states require intrastate movers to hold a state permit or registration in addition to a USDOT number; the company cards on each city page show the USDOT number so you can verify it.
