How household-goods moving costs vary in South Dakota
State-specific code or insurance rule: South Dakota is one of only 5 U.S. states (alongside SC 1999, IA, KS, ND) that have fully DEREGULATED intrastate household-goods moving — South Dakota PUC Transportation Division phased out intrastate HHG tariff filing and certificate-of-public-convenience requirements, leaving SD intrastate moves requiring only the federal FMCSA Operating Authority MC number and USDOT number with no state-specific intrastate carrier permit, no state tariff filing requirement, and no state-mandated FVP-vs-RVP disclosure beyond the federal Carmack Amendment baseline, plus HHG consumer protection enforcement falls entirely to SD Office of Attorney General Consumer Protection Division.
