REWEIGHING OF SHIPMENT (§ 46.2-2167)

The household goods carrier, upon request of the shipper or his representative
made prior to the delivery, shall reweigh the shipment subject to the
availability of scales at destination.

1. The household goods carrier shall inform the person requesting the reweigh,
within a reasonable time prior to the gross reweighing, of the tariff charges
therefor and the location of a certified scale in close proximity to the
destination of the shipment that shall be used, and of the right of the shipper,
or his representative, to observe the gross and tare reweighing.

2. The household goods carrier, without altering or deleting the initial
weights, shall cause to be recorded on the bill of lading the gross, tare and
net weights on reweigh, and shall give the shipper, or his representative,
original or true copies of the weight tickets on reweigh in the same manner as
prescribed in subdivision 2 of &#xA7; 46.2-2165 for initial weighing.

3. The lower of the two net scale weights shall be used for determining the
applicable charges.

4. The household goods carrier may publish in its tariff a reasonable charge for
reweighing shipments, which charge shall be applicable when the reweigh develops
a net scale weight in excess of the initial net scale weight or if the
difference between the initial net scale weight and the reweight net scale
weight is less than 100 pounds on a shipment weighing 5,000 pounds or less or
two percent or less of the lower net scale weight on shipments in excess of
5,000 pounds.
