When planning a move between two Indiana cities, the first question is whether the entire route stays inside the state. The Indiana Department of Revenue (DOR) requires a carrier transporting household goods for hire between in-state points to obtain a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity, or CPCN. This is operating authority, not a quality award. A route crossing a state line requires a separate check of the carrier’s federal FMCSA authority.
Before requesting prices, prepare a practical inventory, full addresses, floor and elevator details, the distance from the door to the truck and preferred dates. Ask in writing what the estimate includes: packing, disassembly, materials, storage, access charges and protection against loss or damage. Indiana DOR says carrier tariffs are filed with the state and that a carrier may not charge items outside its filed tariff; ask how the applicable charges work for your move and keep the service order and transportation receipt.
The route determines what to verify: an Indianapolis–Fort Wayne move calls for state CPCN authority; a move to Louisville or Chicago requires identification of the federally authorized household-goods carrier. DOR says a state authority application can take time and a company may begin only after approval and filing insurance and tariff documents. As a customer, request the CPCN number, legal name, proof of insurance and paperwork listing the price and services instead of relying on the name painted on a truck.
My Movers Inc. lists two branches, in the Indianapolis/Castleton area and Mishawaka, and says it serves all of Indiana as well as out-of-state moves. Indianapolis-based Sherman Moving & Storage describes a service area centered on Central Indiana and also offers long-distance moving. They therefore serve different needs: the first publishes statewide coverage, while the second may suit a local or regional move from the middle of the state. FMCSA shows federal records for the entities checked, but federal registration does not replace the intrastate CPCN required by DOR.
Favorable comments visible on the exact Google Maps listings mention professional communication, punctuality and care for furniture and homes at My Movers; Sherman reviews mention organized service and efficient work on local and commercial jobs. These are individual customers’ accounts, useful as questions to raise with the company rather than predictions about another crew. This guide does not certify either company’s individual state authority: request its current CPCN from DOR before an in-state move.
My Movers provides a form to request an estimate; Sherman lets customers start an inquiry on its official site. Give both companies the same inventory and ask which legal company signs, who drives, whether any part is subcontracted and how changes in volume or dates are priced. The full profiles of My Movers Inc. in Castleton and Sherman Moving & Storage in Indianapolis explain services, coverage and contact options.

Independent editorial guide checked on October 18, 2026 against official company pages, public carrier records and the identified Google Maps listings. Companies describe their own services and service areas; confirm coverage for the actual addresses and dates. A favorable review does not guarantee another move. Before hiring, verify the state or federal authority applicable to the route and ensure the contract names the authorized legal entity. Google ratings and review counts are stored in metadata and are not repeated in the profiles.
In Indiana, state intrastate authority and federal interstate authority are separate checks. Request the current CPCN, the carrier’s legal name and a written estimate itemizing services.
