How household-goods moving costs vary in Vermont
State-specific code or insurance rule: Vermont transferred intrastate household-goods regulatory authority to the Vermont Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) Commercial Vehicle Operations — making Vermont one of the few states where intrastate HHG carriers are regulated by the state DMV rather than a Public Service Commission, PUC, or DOT — and Vermont DMV operates a limited intrastate regulatory framework focused primarily on Operating Authority permitting and commercial vehicle safety compliance, with HHG consumer protection enforcement primarily through Vermont Office of Attorney General Consumer Assistance Program under 9 V.S.A. § 2453 (the Vermont Consumer Protection Act).
