A: The duration of a local move depends on several factors, including the size of the move, distance, and any additional services requested. Cube Moving strives to complete local moves in a timely manner while ensuring the safety of your belongings.

A: Cube Moving considers a local move to be within a specific radius, it’s either commercial move or residential move typically within the San Diego area.

According to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) in the United States, a local move is generally defined as a move within a single commercial zone or metropolitan area that does not exceed a radius of 100 miles. The FMCSA refers to such moves as “short-haul” moves.

Here are some key criteria that determine whether a move is considered local based on FMCSA regulations:

1. Distance: The move must be within a radius of 100 miles from the origin to the destination. This distance is measured “as the crow flies,” meaning the straight-line distance between the two locations.
2. Commercial Zone/Metropolitan Area: The origin and destination of the move should be within the same commercial zone or metropolitan area. The boundaries of commercial zones can vary based on the specific region or state.
3. Crossing State Lines: A move that involves crossing state lines, even if the distance is within 100 miles, is not considered a local move. Such moves are subject to federal regulations for interstate moves.

It’s important to note that while local packing and moving are generally exempt from certain federal regulations applicable to interstate moves, there may still be state or local regulations that apply. Additionally, some exceptions to the 100-mile radius limit may exist in specific situations or regions, so it’s advisable to consult the FMCSA or a professional moving and storage company for the most accurate and up-to-date information.
