Manhattan moving company and state regulations

Question

I was looking for Manhattan movers and I believe that, after much research, I have made my choice of a locally based moving service Manhattan. My question was, if I use a local moving company Manhattan NY but I move to another state (Connecticut, if to be exact), which state law does the moving company need to comply with- the state regulation for a moving company Manhattan New York, or the state regulations for a moving company Hartford Connecticut?

Answer

First of all, all movers are subjected and have to comply with federal regulations. Other than that, they also need to comply with their state’s regulations. There are states that require types of insurance and coverage limits that exceed the federal requirements.

Normally, your mover will have to comply with federal regulations for interstate movers and with the state regulations in which the mover is based. Some states though are unregulated and the mover will have to comply with only the federal requirements. On the other hand, other states will require out-of-state movers to comply with their local regulations when operating within that state.
