Although all movers try to move each shipment on one
truck it becomes necessary at times to divide a shipment
among two or more trucks. This may occur if the mover
has underestimated the cubic feet of space required for
your shipment, with the consequence that it will not all
fit on the first truck. The remainder or "leave behind"
will be picked up by a second truck at a later time and
may arrive at the destination at a later time than the
first truck. When this occurs, your transportation
charges will be determined as if the entire shipment
moved on one truck.
If it is important for you to avoid the inconvenience of
a "leave behind," be sure that your estimate includes an
accurate calculation of the cubic feet required for your
shipment. Ask your estimator to use a "Table of
Measurements" form in making this calculation. Consider
asking for a binding estimate, which is more likely to
be conservative with regard to cubic feet than
non-binding estimates. If the mover offers the service,
consider making a space reservation for the necessary
amount of space plus some margin of error. In any case,
it is prudent to "prioritize" your goods in advance of
the move so that the more essential items will be loaded
on the first truck if some are left behind.
