Suddath® has teamed up with Move for Hunger, a non-profit organization
that supports the efforts of our communities’ food pantries.
On pack day, the Suddath crew will ask if you have any nonperishable
goods to donate to the program. We will take them in grocery bags,
trash bags and old boxes or via any other means. Our pack crew will
place a designated orange label on the goods and will transport them back to our branch.
From there, Suddath will make frequent visits to the local food pantry and drop off collected donations.
We are very proud to be part of this great program and hope you will consider contributing to help reduce
hunger in America.
Note: Refrigerators and freezers should beemptied and the appliance doors left openfor at least 24 hours prior to loading. This willallow the appliance to dry out and will helpprevent the growth of mold.

High-Value Inventory and Non-Allowables
Step 1Please complete the high value inventory form before the packers arrive to pack your household goods. List
those items that you feel have a value of more than $100 per pound.
Step 2When the packers arrive, present them with the high value inventory form and the high value items for
packing. Then, both you and the lead packer will sign the high value inventory form, acknowledging
that both of you are aware of the high value inventory items listed. The packer will give you a copy for
your records.
Step 3The cartons containing the high value items will be left in your possession until the van operator
arrives to load your goods. Make the van operator aware of any cartons containing high value items or
any larger unpacked items that you listed on the high value inventory form. You must also identify for
the driver any high value items that you have packed yourself so that he or she may exercise the right
to inspect such items.
Step 4You will also be asked to sign an “Extraordinary Value Article Declaration” statement on the bill of lading.
Note: You must sign the high value inventory form even if you have not listed any high value items. Your signature attests to the fact that such articles are not included in your shipment.
High-Value InventoryIf you have items that require more liability coverage than the standard $0.60 per pound, you may want to consider taking advantage of
the high value inventory coverage program. Please contact your move coordinator or speak with your in-home move estimator if you have
any questions about the program. The high value inventory form that you will receive before the move allows us to more closely track and
provide greater security for your high value possessions. Failure to identify high value articles will result in limited carrier liability.
