With a move comes plenty of excitement and chaos. The last thing you want to concern yourself with mid-move is the industry talk to ensure all the I’s are dotted and the T’s are crossed. Here is a handy list from energycrew.ca with definitions from dictionary.com to ensure that you are up to date with your moving jargon and have all your moving documents in place.

1. Agent: a person or business authorized to act on your behalf.

2. Bill of Lading (Contract/Moving Agreement): a document issued by a carrier that lists goods being shipped and specifies the terms of their transport. It is a formal contract that specifies dates, terms and can also be used as a receipt.

3. Binding/Non-Binding Estimate: a binding estimate is an agreement made in advance with the mover that guarantees total cost based on services and quantities to be moved. A non binding estimate is an approximate cost of the move, and is not binding on the carrier.

4. Carrier: an organization employed to carry goods.

5. Estimate: the mover’s approximate cost based on quantity or weight of shipment as well as costs for additional moving services requested by you.

6. High Value Article: an item whose value exceeds $100 per pound.
