What the rule says
- The pickup and delivery dates or windows must be on the bill of lading. A window that was never written down cannot be enforced.
- Reasonable dispatch, 49 CFR 375.601: the mover moves the goods inside the agreement without unnecessary delay.
- If they will be late they must tell you, 375.605. Ask what they pay toward a hotel or essentials; some tariffs include a delay claim.
Interstate rules are FMCSA rules. A move inside one state follows that state, if it has a desk. This is not legal advice.
What you do this week
- 1Get the delivery window on the bill of lading before the truck loads, not after.
- 2Keep the first-night box in your car. A window is a plan and plans slide in summer.
- 3Ask for the delay or inconvenience claim terms in writing and keep receipts.
