What Is An Order For Service Document?

Any company you hire to provide moving solutions for you must provide you with a contract, often referred to as a bill of lading. One of the most important parts of this contract is called the Order for Service document, which details the specifics of the shifting assistances you’ve requested. It’s important that review the terms listed in this file since it includes the assistances to be provided, the terms of liability, as well as your personal contact information, all of which you should make sure are correct. In the event that your plans change or you decide not to move, you must cancel the Booking for Offerings report, in which case a fee may be assessed. It is required by law that you receive an Booking for Assistance form that includes the information mentioned above when you hire a transporting corporate.

In addition to the services you’ve requested, the Order for Solution form will also list the amount to be charged for the facilities, which is another good reason to take a careful look at the file. The cost indicated on the document should reflect the amount you were initially quoted when you contacted the hauling company, though there are some cases in which it may be slightly higher. If you received a non-binding quote, that means that the cost can fluctuate slightly depending on the specifics of your move, but it should not be substantially different. If you received a binding estimate, the price should be right around the same figure you were initially quoted.

What Is Included In An Agreement?

Now that we’ve covered the basics of what an Order for Service document is, let’s dig into the specifics of what it should cover. If any of these elements are not included in the file, or any portion is left blank, you should contact the moving company immediately to rectify the oversight. Do not sign an Order for Solution that is incomplete. Here is what should be included:

• Your name, address, and contact information
• The moving firms name, address, and contact information
• The movers USDOT number and the contract or registration number for your relocation contract
• Method of payment
• Pickup and delivery dates for you move
• Terms and conditions of the contract, including charges, declaration of value, and any payment contingencies
• The maximum amount the transition firm may charge you should be listed in terms and conditions
• Details of the relocating company’s liability, including payment scheduling and fees that may apply to a non-binding shipping agreement (up to a maximum of 110% of quoted price)
• The quoted price for a binding moving agreement
• Any special services requested (such as storage) and the expected costs of such solutions
• Minimum charge for assistances, typically based on the weight of your belongings
• A signature by both parties must be included to validate an Request for Offerings document

As you can see, the Order for Facility report is rather comprehensive in that it covers all the details of your move. Make sure to review it carefully to ensure that it matches your expectations of both services you expect and the pricing schedule you’ve agreed to.
