What is the difference between an interstate and an intrastate move? |
An interstate move is a shipment moving between two states. Interstate moves are priced according to a tariff, total weight of all items to be shipped, and distance from the point of origin to your new home. Interstate moves are federally regulated under specific tariffs (published schedules of rules, rates, and charges for the transportation of goods). The tariff provides the schedule of rates and charges from which the van lines compute the total cost of the move. An intrastate move is a shipment moving within the borders of one state. Intrastate moves are state regulated and are generally priced according to an hourly rate filed with the state's regulatory body. The cost of an intrastate move will be determined by time and manpower required to accomplish the move. Discounting the hourly rate for an intrastate move is usually not allowed.
