Custom Tariff Publishing, Bill of Lading, and Order for Service Video for FMCSA Interstate Moving Companies
Posted by David Piotrowski
Interstate household goods transportation companies must publish a tariff and must issue a Bill of Lading and Order for Service on each and every interstate moving job that they perform. This is mandated by law. Failure to publish a tariff or issue a Bill of Lading and Order for Service may result in moderate to severe penalties. The FMCSA department of the USDOT have been fining interstate moving companies for failure to publish a tariff and failure to create a Bill of Lading and Order for Service. Many owners of moving companies often contact me about their business and wanting to know what they need to do to comply with tariff and other regulatory matters. The majority of new moving company owners have heard of a tariff, but they don’t really know what it means to “publish a tariff.” Similarly, most owners know that they need to create a Bill of Lading and an Order for Service, but they don’t really know what needs to be on these documents.
To assist moving company owners, we have created a video describing the basics of tariff publishing, Bills of Lading, and the Order for Service. A video outlining the basics of a tariff, Bill of Lading, and Order for Service, can be found here.
The Law Office of David Piotrowski works with interstate household goods moving companies to publish their tariff, as well as create customized contracts including the Bill of Lading and Order for Service.
