Question? What
days of the week will MoveAmerica pickup and deliver my
trailer. Answer: MoveAmerica will pickup and deliver trailers
on business days. Weekend or holiday service may be available

Question? Who
do I call after my shipment is loaded and secure behind
my bulkhead? Answer: Call MoveAmerica's office at 1-877-469-5722
and we will have the trailer picked up and started on its
way to your new home.
Question? Are
there any other families furniture on the trailer with mine?
Answer: Yours is the only household goods shipment on the
trailer. After you have finished loading, we pickup the
trailer and bring it to our local terminal where we complete
loading the trailer with dry commercial cargo (boxes) on
pallets. The trailer leaves the terminal that night to begin
moving to your new home. This cargo will never be seen by
you.
Question? What
equipment comes on the trailer? Answer: A complete bulkhead will already
be on the trailer and the driver will lock it in place for
you.
Question? What
is the purpose of the bulkhead? Answer: The bulkhead walls
off and secures your shipment (which is in the front of
the trailer) and keeps it from falling down during transit.
Your shipment cannot move unless the bulkhead is in place.
The pre-made bulkheads have seals on them.
Question? How
long does it take for me to get my shipment? Answer: On
an average, your trailer will move about 500 miles each
business day after pickup from your residence, and will
be available for delivery the firstvbusiness day following
arrival at the destination terminal.
Question? Who
will be driving the truck moving my shipment? Answer: MoveAmerica
partners with very large commercial trucking companies,
such as UPS Freight, who employ professional drivers to
move your shipment. MoveAmerica does not contract with small
operators or independant contractors.
Question? Can
MoveAmerica arrange loading and unloading of my shipment.
Answer: Yes, MoveAmerica can arrange professional loaders
and unloaders at your request.
Question? If
I am in the military using MoveAmerica for my PPM, will
MoveAmerica provide me with certified weight tickets? Answer:
Yes, MoveAmerica will provide both light and heavy weight
tickets that the T.O. needs to reimburse you for your move.
Question? Where
does MoveAmerica provide service? Answer: As long as you
are moving over 50 miles MoveAmerica can provide service
nationwide with some exceptions. When you request a quote
though our Instant Quote system, anyplace we quote is a
place we service. If we cannot service a particular point,
the system will tell you when you request your quote. We
can even move you to and from most places in Alaska and Canada. Please ask your MoveAmerica
representative if you are off the beaten path.
Question? Is
it possible for me to track my shipment throughout my move?
Answer: Yes, you can track its progress on the web or call
a MoveAmerica customer service representative who will track
it for you.

I have to wrap, blanket, box, and protect my shipment. Answer:
Absolutely, protection of your goods is your responsibility.
Question? Where
can I obtain packing materials, cartons, and tape. Answer:
Materials can be ordered directly from Moveamerica's web
site.
Question? Are
there any hidden charges in my quote? Answer: No. Your quote
is all inclusive and there are no hidden charges. Included
are the trailer, tractor, driver, gas and oil, fuel surcharge,
taxes, tolls, licences, and fees. The only possible extra
is if you desire to purchase additional insurance or the price of
gasoline increases between the time you get your quote and the day
your shipment is picked up.
Question? What
insurance coverage is available? Answer. Your quote includes
basic insurance coverage up to $0.10 per pound. Additional
insurance coverage, including "Named Peril" coverage and
"All-Risk" coverage, can be ordered through MoveAmerica.
For "All-Risk" coverage, a third party (like MoveAmerica
provided movers - not your cousin) must load your shipment.
What happens
when I arrive in my destination city? Answer: Call MoveAmerica

we will coordinate your delivery with the destination folks.
