Bill of Lading

Bill of Lading is the most important document it is an official contract between you and your mover. This document contains all pertinent information, terms and conditions of the agreement for transportation of goods, costs, time frames, method of payment, mover's liability over your shipment. This document has to remain with shipment at all times until delivery. The customer signs it on the day of pick up and receives a copy of it along with other documents, like order for service, inventory forms, etc.

There are interstate and intrastate types of transportation of household.

Interstate moves are long distance relocations that cross state lines. They are governed by federal agency, Department of Transportation.

Intrastate moves are local and long distance relocations with in the same state. These moves are governed by the state agency in which the moves take place.

California Public Utilities Commission and Department of Transportation have terms and conditions almost identical, however the tariffs are very different.

Before you decide on your mover make sure to read the terms and conditions on their company's bill of lading.

Below we will show both contracts, the print is very small if it is too hard to see on your screen you can ZOOM IN, or ask your mover to mail you the original.
