What are Mover’s tariffs?
A mover’s tariff is a schedule of the breakdown of services or fees a moving company offers its clients. A moving company is required by law to file their tariff with the Federal Government’s Surface Transportation Board.
A mover’s tariff is required to contain three things. It should state clearly the services a moving company offers the public. It should define rules, regulations and other provisions related to the moving company. Next, it should contain a breakdown of fees or payment for each specific service it provides. And lastly, it should also have a clear format that allows the client to follow the rates and services the moving company offers.
For example, a tariff must have specific charges for services like full service moving or self-service moving. It should state how much each packaging material will cost the client. A tariff also contains expected delivery dates, the cost of packing and unpacking a carton, storage fees, insurance, liability and other necessary details
A good tip to those relocating would be to inspect the whole tariff of the moving company you choose. A good moving company will happily supply you and explain to you the necessary facts you need to know.
