IAnother
customary service option is EXCLUSIVE USE OF A
VEHICLE. If for any reason you desire or require
that your shipment be moved by itself on the mover's
truck or trailer, most movers will provide such service.
Still
another service option is GUARANTEED SERVICE ON
OR BETWEEN AGREED DATES. You enter into an agreement
with the mover that provides for your shipment to
be picked up, transported to destination and delivered
on specific guaranteed dates. If the mover fails to
provide the service as agreed, you are entitled to
be compensated at a predetermined amount or a daily
rate (per diem) regardless of the expense you actually
might have incurred as a result of the mover's failure
to perform.
Before
requesting or agreeing to any of these price and service
options, be sure to ask the mover's representatives
about the final costs you will be required to pay.
TRANSPORT
OF SHIPMENTS ON TWO OR MORE VEHICLES
Although
all movers try to move each shipment on one truck
it becomes necessary at times to divide a shipment
among two or more trucks. This may occur if the mover
has underestimated the cubic feet of space required
for your shipment, with the consequence that it will
not all fit on the first truck. The remainder or "leave
behind" will be picked up by a second truck at
a later time and may arrive at the destination at
a later time than the first truck. When this occurs,
your transportation charges will be determined as
if the entire shipment moved on one truck.
