| You should receive a Bill of Lading from your New Concord mover. This is the receipt for your goods and the contract for their transportation.

The bill of lading is an important document. Don't lose or misplace your copy. |

| Ask your New Concord mover if your things are going to be the only ones on the moving van.

You minimize the chances of getting other peoples things and loosing yours. |

| If you decide to use a New Concord mover, make sure to clearly mark and set aside items you don't want loaded.
