Local moves are considered moves that are a short distance within the same state. Typically, local moves occur within the same city or a 50-mile radius. State lines help determine whether a move is a local move or an interstate move. For example, a move from Providence, Rhode Island to Boston suburb would not be classified as a local move.
Intrastate moves are usually longer distance moves that occur within the same state. These moves might not be considered local even though they are within the same state. Examples of an intrastate move would be moving from San Francisco to Los Angeles or moving from Dallas to Houston. Interstate moves are different from local or intrastate moves because they involve moving goods across state lines.
Interstate moves may also be referred to as long distance or cross country moves. Interstate moves require special authority from Federal regulators. This is why shorter moves within a Metro Area may not be considered a “local move.”
