The Connecticut Public Utilities Commission granted a nine percent hourly rate increase for intrastate moving firms handling short moves under 20 miles, saying the rise prevents losses and preserves reasonable profits.

New rates raise truck costs from 32.59 to 23.50 for small trucks and 33.50 to 36.50 for larger ones, with most state trucks exceeding 700 cubic feet.
