A Local move, also known as an Intrastate move, is a move that does not cross state
lines. Even if you move a great distance but it is within the same state, it is
still considered a Local move. It's important to remember that if your mover crosses
state lines at any point during transport, your move has now become a Long Distance
move and is governed by a different set of rules. An example of such a move would
be if you are moving from upper Manhattan in NYC to Staten Island in NYC, with the
quickest route being a shortcut through New Jersey. In this case you are moving
from one point in New York City to another point in the same city, but are traveling
through another state (New Jersey) to get there . So always make sure you understand
the route your movers plan to take. When it comes to Local moves, each state has
its own set of rules that its movers need to follow (123Movers only works with licensed

and insurance required by your state. You can use this
