The shorter
distance hourly rated moves,
generally present no problem since
delivery is usually made the same
day. The following observations are
applicable to the longer distance
weight rated moves;
Your moving company is not required
to make delivery on any exact date,
but only within a reasonable time
after loading. However, you and the
mover must state on the order for
service and bill of loading that you
have agreed to delivery of your
possessions on a certain date or
within a certain period of time. If
the mover cannot meet those dates,
the mover is required to notify you
to set a new delivery
schedule.
