Carriers transporting household goods intrastate for compensation are under the North Carolina Utilities Commission’s jurisdiction. If you hire intrastate household goods movers in North Carolina, they must have a certificate (“C” number) issued by the Commission. Certificated movers are required to have insurance, to observe some consumer protection laws, and to comply with the provisions of the Maximum Rate Tariff (MRT).
