LIMITS OF LIABILITY• Moving Labor Service vs Full Service Movers
Full service moving companies handle all five aspects of moving: Packing, Loading, Transportation, Unloading, and Unpacking. Since they control all five aspects they can ensure that every item is inventoried and handled properly, exclusively by their crew. This also enables them to provide a wide range of moving insurance options. We are different because we usually handle a portion of the move, such as loading and unloading, while you or your transportation provider will control the rest.
• Notice of Limited Liability
Your move is protected by the federally mandated released valuation coverage of $0.60/lb per item. Moving companies are federally mandated to provide this default coverage. It is not based on value and does have exclusions which we discuss further in the “Exclusions” section below. Our liability only extends to items while under our care and custody. Once our workers depart from your location we can no longer be held liable for any damages.
ADDITIONAL INSURANCEHere are some additional insurance options that may be available to you.
• Transportation Provider Insurance:
Most rental truck, portable storage, and trailer companies will have additional insurance options available. Please review the specific details of coverage with the transportation provider before purchasing.

This insurance will usually cover damage that occurs while in transit to the new location, office or residence. It is recommended that you always consult your insurer to confirm the details or your coverage.
