At Stateside Movers we have a low overhead and can typically beat a national moving company by quite a bit on cost. We can arrive with 1 or more 26' full size box trucks for your move. If the distance is short, we can save you money by bringing one truck and then doing a second or even a third trip if needed.
All loading, unloading, and packing are itemized separately from the transportation cost and billed hourly. See the above hourly rates under local. These hourly rates based on the number of movers and or trucks also apply to long distance moves over 251 miles. In addition, we now add a transportation cost based per mile and itemized on your final bill and charged as follows:
One Way (IN STATE)--
251 - 300 Miles - $6 per mile
301 - 999 Miles - $4 per mile
One Way (INTERSTATE STATE)--
251 - 300 Miles - $7 per mile
301 - 999 Miles - $5 per mile
1000 - 1599 Miles - $4.25 per mile
1600 Miles and Over - $4.00 per mile
One Way --
251 - 300 Miles - $13 per mile
301 - 400 Miles - $10 per mile
401 Miles - 999 Miles - $9 per mile
1000 - 1599 Miles - $8 per mile
1600 Miles and Over - $7 per mile
3 Guys Loading / Unloading: $145 per hour x 8 (5 hours + 3 hours) = $1160 + 1700 miles x $4.5 per mile =
Total Cost of This Move: $8810
Scenario B - 280 mile move that included 5 hours of loading and 3 hours of unloading would be billed as follows:
2 Guys Loading / Unloading: $105 per hour x 8 (5 hours + 3 hours) = $840
+
280 miles x $7 per mile = $1960
Total Cost of This Move: $2800

§ 375.201
What is my normal liability for loss and damage when I accept goods from an individual shipper?
(a) In general, you are legally liable for loss or damage if it happens during performance of any transportation of household goods and all related services identified on your lawful bill of lading.
(b) Full Value Protection Obligation - In general, your liability is for the household goods that are lost, damaged, destroyed, or otherwise not delivered to the final destination in an amount equal to the replacement value of the household goods. The maximum amount is the declared value of the shipment. The declared value is subject to rules issued by the Surface Transportation Board (STB) and applicable tariffs.
(c) If the shipper waives, in writing, your liability for the full value of the household goods, then you are liable for loss of, or damage to, any household goods to the extent provided in the STB released rates order. Contact the STB for a current copy of the Released Rates of Motor Carrier Shipments of Household Goods. The rate may be increased annually by the motor carrier based on the U.S. Department of Commerce's Cost of Living Adjustment.
(d) As required by § 375.303(c)(5), you may have additional liability if you sell liability insurance and fail to issue a copy of the insurance policy or other appropriate evidence of insurance.

(a) If an individual shipper includes perishable, dangerous, or hazardous articles in the shipment without your knowledge, you need not assume liability for those articles or for the loss or damage caused by their inclusion in the shipment. If the shipper requests that you accept such articles for transportation, you may elect to limit your liability for any loss or damage by appropriately published tariff provisions.
(b) If an individual shipper agrees to ship household goods released at a value greater than 60 cents per pound ($1.32 per kilogram) per article, your liability for loss and damage may be limited to $100 per pound ($220 per kilogram) per article if the individual shipper fails to notify you in writing of articles valued at more than $100 per pound ($220 per kilogram).
(c) If an individual shipper notifies you in writing that an article valued at greater than $100 per pound ($220 per kilogram) will be included in the shipment, the shipper will be entitled to full recovery up to the declared value of the article or articles, not to exceed the declared value of the entire shipment.
