Am I protected against loss or damage of goods when in transit?

Yes! On Full Service Moves where Student Movers provides the moving truck, we will also provide 0.60 cents per pound free coverage. On labor only jobs where the customer provides and drives the moving truck, and Student Movers is hired to load and unload the furniture, the goods are only covered when the items being moved are in our possession. Also, every customer has the opportunity to inspect all items before Student Movers completes the move and any damages should be reported on our moving contracts.

If you are interested in more insurance coverage, our Full Value Coverage protects recovery at the full or “replacement” value. If you are interested in this level of coverage for your move, then please contact either movinginsurance.com or Baker Household Goods Insurance. Both specialize in and can provide replacement cost coverage at additional cost.

What is a DDT?

DDT sounds like you’re being charged double for drive time but that’s a mistake! The California Public Utilities Commission requires all moving companies to charge DDT on hourly rated moves. DDT means you are charged for the time between the old house (origin) and the new house and the moving company is responsible for the drive time between the warehouse and the origin. DDT actually SAVES you money!
