How household-goods moving costs vary in Indiana
State-specific code or insurance rule: Indiana transferred intrastate household-goods regulatory authority from the Indiana Public Service Commission (now Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission - IURC) to the Indiana Department of Revenue Motor Carrier Services Division as part of a 1990s-2000s consolidation — making Indiana one of the few states where intrastate HHG carriers are regulated by the state revenue department rather than a Public Service Commission or DOT — and Indiana DOR Motor Carrier Services focuses primarily on Operating Authority permitting and motor carrier tax compliance rather than HHG consumer protection (which falls primarily under Indiana Office of Attorney General Consumer Protection Division), plus Indiana's central location drives consistent inter-Midwest pass-through interstate move volume.
