MANAGING THE MOVE HIRING A MOVER THE MOVING CONTRACT INSURING YOUR STUFF LOADING AND UNLOADING

The Bill of Lading is the contract between you and the Mover. It includes:

Time and place of the pick-up

Place and estimated time of delivery

Number of boxes and pieces and total weight of your shipment

Total cost of the shipment

An inventory attachment listing each item to be moved

Fine print explaining what actions you and the mover can take if things go wrong

Your Moving Cost is primarily based on the weight of your goods, calculated by weighing the moving truck.

The driver must weigh his truck before picking up your goods. This is the "tare weight."

After loading your things, the truck is weighed a second time to get "gross weight."

Weight of your load = gross weight - tare weight

At each weighing the driver gets a Certified Weight Ticket specifying date, place of weighing and weight.

Copies of the weight tickets should be attached to your freight bill.

Weight disputes:

You can demand a re-weighing before the truck is unloaded at your new home, but the mover can charge a fee for the re-weighing.

The mover must recalculate his charges based on the new weight.

Before demanding a re-weighing:

Count the number of items on the mover's inventory list.
Divide the total weight by the number of items to get average weight.
The average weight should be between 35 and 45 pounds.
