| Decide on Tipping your Jackson County Area movers. Should you? It is completely up to you. Many individuals do tip the driver and let him disperse the portion to the crew that they think is appropriate. You decide! |
 |
| A AMSA Certified Van Line is a Jackson County Area mover that is an interstate carrier that transports your household goods shipment under its own authority, granted by the Federal Highway Administration, on a national basis. Van Lines use a network of agents throughout the country to provide the origin, destination and hauling services needed to accomplish your move. Like Certified Movers, AMSA Certified Van Lines subscribe to the AMSA Code of Conduct. |
 |
| Your Jackson County Area mover will have you sign an Order for Service. This is the document authorizing the mover to transport your household goods. |
 |
| Moving during the summer tends to be more expensive. Your Jackson County Area mover may charge you Peak Season Rates. These are Higher line haul charges that are applicable during the summer months. |
 |
| Your Jackson County Area mover may discuss Advanced Charges: These charges are for services not performed by the mover but instead by a professional, craftsman or other third party at your request. The charges for these services are paid for by the mover and added to your bill of lading charges. |
 |
| If the Jackson County Area mover attempts to give you a delivery date and time, keep in mind that if you are moving across country, it is really only an estimate at the time of loading. Many factors can change the schedule for the driver, so try to remain flexible. Ask the driver to call you with changes so that you can adjust your plans accordingly. If you have a delivery spread (a sequence of two or more days that your shipment can be delivered on and still be considered on time) understand that you can and may be delivered on any one of those days. |
 |
| The day before the Jackson County Area movers come, pack each plant in an appropriate sized moving box. However, first of all give them a good drink of water, put them in a black trash bag sealed tight, then in the box. Be sure and seal the box. Write "LIVE PLANT" on the outside with arrows pointing upright. If you have a good mover, they will load these last. The larger greenery needs to go in a dishpack, and you probably will not be able to close the box, but still follow the steps, and make some type of plastic cover over these. What happens is they create their own mini environment, and can survive up to a week in these boxes. |
