Moves of 35 miles or less are billed at hourly rates based upon the number of workers/vans and the time it takes to perform the move. The regulations define the maximum rates that movers may charge which allows movers and their customers to negotiate the rates to be used. The “clock” starts when the mover arrives at your home, and it stops when all the services at the destination have been completed. A charge may be assessed for traveling to your current home and from your new home. Time will be rounded up to the nearest quarter hour. Moves greater than 35 miles are billed based on the weight of the shipment and the distance between origin and destination. That distance is calculated by movers using any reputable online mapping service or, in some instances, special Commission-approved mileage software. The regulations define the maximum rates that movers may charge which allows movers and their customers to negotiate the rates to be used up to the maximum. The mover will weigh the vehicle prior to loading your household goods (tare weight) with a full gas tank and all the supplies to be used for your move. After the vehicle has been loaded, the mover will weigh the truck again (gross weight). The weight of the shipment (net weight) is determined by subtracting the tare weight from the gross weight. All weights will be shown on the Bill of Lading. However, if no adequate scale is available, a “constructive weight” (7 pounds per cubic foot of properly loaded van space) may be used to determine the weight of your shipment. If it seems necessary, you may request that your shipment be reweighed prior to delivery. Reweighing will be done only where it is practical to do so. An additional charge may be assessed for reweighing if the difference between the two net weights is less than 100 pounds on a shipment weighing less than 5,000 pounds or is less than 2% of the lower net weight on a shipment weighing more than 5,000 pounds. The lower of the two net weights will be used in

Most customers expect delivery within the next day or so after their goods are loaded. However, sometimes movers cannot deliver that quickly, particularly on smaller loads. If you request it, delivery can occur on or before a specific day. This earlierthan-normal delivery is called “expedited service” and is subject to the availability of the trucks. The rates that apply will be higher than you would normally pay and are based upon the number of miles involved in your move and the weight of your goods. If you agree to pay the extra charges for expedited service, you must sign at a certain section on the Bill of Lading acknowledging that you understand the shipment is moving under the provisions of expedited service which is more expensive than standard delivery service.
