The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s (FMCSA) Regulations
The FMCSA requires household goods carriers to provide shippers with certain documents, including a written estimate of charges, a bill of lading, and an inventory of items being transported.

The bill of lading is a legal document that outlines the terms and conditions of the move, including the pick-up and delivery dates, the agreed-upon cost, and the valuation of the goods being moved.

Shippers have the right to receive a copy of the bill of lading and inventory before the shipment leaves, and carriers must obtain the shipper's signature on these documents.

Shippers should carefully read and understand all documents provided by the carrier before signing them, including the estimate, bill of lading, inventory, and all other completed documen
Customer Responsibilities
Shippers are responsible for preparing their household goods for transportation, including packing and labeling items.

If the shipper packs their own items, they are responsible for ensuring that they are packed securely and that the carrier is made aware of any fragile items.

Shippers must inform the carrier of any items that are not to be moved, and must ensure that their pets and plants are properly cared for during the move.

Shippers must be present during the loading and unloading of their household goods, and must be available to answer questions and provide directions to the movers.
