Frequent asked question from a mover! Part 1- By Southland Movers Houston

What should I look for when selecting movers in Houston TX? See below for the top two questions should you ask according to TX-DMV


1. Moving licenses:  Check for the appropriate licenses: State and Federal every movers by law must have us dot and their state authority (in state of Texas movers must have both US-DOT number and TX-DMV number)         

                                    

Insurance and General liability

The difference between mover’s liability and transit insurance

2. Mover's Liability : All licensed movers have a basic liability of $.60 per pound, per article. For example, if your 50 pound television is damaged during your move, your mover is liable for a maximum of $30.00 (50 lbs. X 0.60 = $30.00). While your mover cannot reduce the amount of liability below $.60 per pound, per article; they can agree to a higher amount of liability which must be agreed upon in writing by both parties and which may come at an additional cost to you. Remember, this is not insurance.
