Moving Companies Banking in West Virginia — FAQ

Do I need a license to start a moving company in West Virginia?

Yes — West Virginia requires moving companies to register with the state (often through the public utilities commission or transportation department) and obtain proper insurance. For interstate moves, you'll also need a USDOT number. Register your LLC ($100) as a first step.

What insurance do moving companies need in West Virginia?

Moving companies in West Virginia need general liability insurance, cargo/goods-in-transit insurance, commercial auto insurance for trucks, and workers' compensation. Customers' belongings are your responsibility during the move — adequate insurance coverage is critical.
