North Dakota Rules and Regulations
In the state of North Dakota, moving companies are required to have an operating authority (license) to do intrastate state moves. Movers are not required to file a tariff. There is no regulation on whether the mover charges hourly or by weight and distance.
One important thing to remember is that you make sure your local mover carries workers compensation insurance and the proper licensing on equipment and vehicles.
