Frequently asked questions

On this platform Minneapolis (1,248), St. Paul (1,099), St. Cloud (243), Rochester (116), Mankato (116) lead the state by number of FMCSA-registered household-goods carriers.

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

Moves that stay inside Minnesota 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.
