MRT Training Seminar

To register, click here.

The North Carolina Utilities Commission (NCUC) regulates transportation of household goods (HHG) over public highways within North Carolina. The Maximum Rate Tariff (MRT) governs the rates and operating practices associated with these shipments. Provisions of the MRT:

• Defines the maximum rates that may be charged for services
• Describes (in detail) various rules of operation
• Specifies forms that must be used with every regulated move

To ensure familiarity with these provisions, free training seminars are provided throughout the year as a joint effort by the NCUC, Public Staff and the North Carolina Movers Association (NCMA). These seminars are geared towards providing carriers with relevant information that will benefit overall business operations:

• Moving procedures breakdown (Best Practices, Claim Process, Pitfalls to avoid)
• Required documents (BOL, Estimates, COI etc.)
• Quarterly Reports (How to Report, What Revenues to Include)
• Annual Reports (Operating Statistics, Verification)
• Sample Moves (MRT Rates, Chargeable Items)

Due to COVID-19, we are offering MRT seminars online via Zoom. Representatives will answer questions and help attendees gain a better understanding of the Maximum Rate Tariff (MRT), including appropriate billing practices. The next MRT training seminar is scheduled for Thursday, October 28, 2021. Once registered, additional details will be provided. Attendance will be limited, so please register early.

Please note that all new carriers are required to attend a training seminar within three (3) months from the date of the Order Granting the Certificate of Exemption.
