What is a
Moving Tariff?
Moving
Tariff stands for a pricing calculation document
that indicates prices per cubic feet or pound for a move
between given locations. Yet a moving tariff is not
merely a calculation aid, but also has legal
implications, as it includes a company policy, the fine
print a bill of lading, and order for service. Tariffs
apply to (long distance) interstate moves. As of January
1st, 2008, all moving companies must have a moving
tariff published and handed in to D.O.T (Department of
Transportation).
How is a
Moving Tariff Constructed?
Putting up a
moving tariff is usually conducted by authorized agents
(such as AMSA), lawyers, and other D.O.T-authorized
office capable of this undertaking. However, it is not
mandatory to make use of the services of any of these
legal agencies in order to construct a moving tariff,
which can be done by any moving company owner, the only
condition being it must be published. Familiarity with
the moving market overall, in terms of services and
fees, alongside an understanding of the capabilities of
your own organization provide the necessary background
for building a moving tariff.
