NAC706.312. Common motor carriers of household goods: Estimate of charges.

     1. A common motor carrier of household goods must, if requested by the shipper after a visual inspection of the goods, give to the shipper a written estimate of the charges. The original must be delivered to the shipper and a copy maintained by the carrier in his or her record of the shipment.

     2. The estimate must be based upon the carrier’s tariff filed with the Authority. The final charge for transporting the goods may not exceed the estimate unless the customer requests services that are not included in the written estimate and agrees to pay for the additional services so requested. If the final charge is less than the estimate, the carrier shall only collect the actual charge for the service.
