Vermont Rules and Regulations
Intrastate moving (point A to point B in Vermont) are not regulated in the state of Vermont. Local movers do not need a license. The only law that Vermont enforces is if the vehicle is over 75 feet long, you do need to have a special permit. Also if the distance from the center of the steering axle to the center of the rear most tractor axle is over 75 feet, then a special permit is needed.
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.
