The FMCSA Requires Household Goods Moving Companies to Publish a Tariff

Feb. 18, 2014 - PRLog -- Household goods carriers that operate in interstate commerce, meaning they pick up a shipment in one state and deliver the shipment to another state, must publish a tariff and have it available for inspection at all times. Failure to publish a tariff may result in civil fines and penalties and is a violation of federal law.

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) requires interstate household goods moving companies to publish a tariff. The tariff will list the rates, company policies, any extra or accessorial charges, delivery timeframes, claims procedures, and more.

Don't violate federal law or risk a big penalty. Publish your tariff today! If you do not know what rates you want to charge your customers, this Law Office can assist you. Your tariff is flexible and is made specifically for your company.
