                                 CODE OF VIRGINIA

SOLICITATION, BOOKING, REGISTRATION BY OTHER PERSONS PROHIBITED;
STORAGE-IN-TRANSIT (§ 46.2-2156)

A. No person except a certificated household goods carrier, its parent, or its
wholly owned subsidiary company, or other entity under complete ownership, or an
employee of the above certificated carrier may solicit, book or register a
shipment of household goods moving intrastate and only in the name of that
certificated carrier.

B. No person or employee of a certificated or a noncertificated carrier may act
as an employee, representative, or agent for another certificated carrier for
purpose of soliciting, booking or registering an intrastate shipment except as
provided in subsection A of this section. No person or employee of a
certificated carrier who solicits, books or registers intrastate shipments may
be employed by a noncertificated carrier.

C. A certificated household goods carrier may utilize the services of another
certificated household goods carrier or a permitted property carrier that has
complied with the minimum cargo insurance requirements of this chapter for
storage and final delivery on storage-in-transit shipments at destination. A
property carrier who does not hold a household goods certificate of fitness is
prohibited from delivering a shipment for a greater distance than thirty road
miles from the warehouse. The shipment must move on the bill of lading of the
originating certificated household goods carrier with the delivering
certificated household goods carrier or property carrier shown on the bill of
lading. The legal liability of the shipment remains the responsibility of the
originating certificated household goods carrier.

D. A household goods carrier may interchange or interline shipments with any
other certificated household goods carrier provided both carriers hold proper
authority to transport the shipment from origin to destination. The shipment
must move on the bill of lading of the originating certificated household goods
carrier with the delivering certificated household goods carrier shown on the
bill of lading. The legal liability of the shipment remains the responsibility
of the originating certificated household goods carrier.
