What the registration shows
Graves Reliable Moving is registered as an intrastate carrier, meaning it is set up for moves that stay within Ohio. It does not need interstate authority for those moves, but it cannot legally carry a move to another state. For in-state moves, Rules for moves that stay within Ohio vary. Some states license or register household-goods movers through their transportation department or public utilities commission, while others don't. Ask the mover for any Ohio license or registration number and check it with the issuing agency, or ask the Ohio attorney general's consumer protection office. For moves to or from another state, the mover must be registered with FMCSA and hold interstate household-goods authority.
