Order For Service: The Order for service is a required document that provides the shipper with written confirmation of the requested services that are to be performed in conjunction with the move.

Inventory: Prior to the loading of a shipment, a descriptive inventory must be prepared and presented to the customer or his authorized representative for signature.

Bill of Lading: Finally, the mover is required to prepare a Uniform Household Goods Bill of Lading and Freight Bill for every shipment in transport. The bill of lading serves as the receipt for the goods and the contract with the mover for their transportation. As a general rule, the Bill of Lading is executed and signed by the customer on the day of the move after the shipment has been loaded and before the moving truck leaves the residence.
