Read The Bill Of Lading
Carefully And Thoroughly
Make sure you receive a bill of lading that includes important information such as the cost of the move for an hourly job, or a weight rated job or a fixed rate with a binding estimate. If you are paying for a weight rated job, you will not know the entire cost until after the truck is loaded and weight. If you are paying for an hourly job, you will not know the cost until all the work is completed. If any information on the bill of lading is missing, do not sign anything until all necessary information is supplied. A reputable mover should provide an accurate bill of lading with all the information entered.
The bill of lading might have information that you do not understand. If you see anything that you do not understand, ask for an explanation. Do not sign anything if you do not fully understand what you are agreeing to. The moving company that gives you an estimate should have the same information on the bill that is on the estimate if you are working with a binding estimate and not weight rated or hourly estimate. Thoroughly reading the bill will protect you from any problems when the load is delivered.
If there are blank spaces on the bill of lading, you need to question why. If you are told that particular item does not pertain to your move, request that a N/A is filled in the space. This will prevent any information from being filled in later on, after you sign the bill. It is always important to use a reputable moving company that has the necessary information correct. You should always compare the estimate and the bill of lading to make sure the information was entered correctly as well. This will protect you from any discrepancies later on.
