The moving industry is a term that normally refers to the accumulation of local and long distance professional moving companies providing household goods packing, moving and storage services within any given state or country. In some countries, such companies are referred to as a removalists. Long distance moving companies provide interstate, intrastate and citywide moving services while local movers provide only intrastate moves or moves within the same city area. Professional household goods mover's trucks are regulated by the US Department of Transportation (DOT) and if the mover's services are conducted crossing state lines they must be licensed by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). Professional movers are also under the jurisdiction of their home office's state Commerce Commission.
