exceeds the estimate after delivery. Under CPUC regulations, what is the
maximum amount the mover can collect at delivery before additional
billing?
A. 100% of the estimate
B. 110% of the estimate
C. 125% of the estimate
D. No limit applies
Correct Answer: B. 110% of the estimate
Explanation: CPUC rules cap collection at delivery to 110% of a non-
binding estimate to protect consumers. Option A is incorrect because it is too
restrictive. Option C exceeds the allowed cap. Option D is false as regulations
impose strict limits.

regulatory consequence?

D. Customer must request it first
Correct Answer: C. Violation subject to penalties
Explanation: Providing this booklet is mandatory. Failure constitutes a
compliance violation. Option A ignores regulatory obligations. Option B
understates consequences. Option D is incorrect since the obligation is on the
carrier.

regarding final charges?

C. Charges are only approximate

Correct Answer: B. Charges are fixed unless additional services are
requested
Explanation: Binding estimates lock pricing unless customer-authorized
changes occur. Option A contradicts binding terms. Option C applies to non-
binding estimates. Option D is incorrect as recalculation is unnecessary.
, Q4. When must a bill of lading be provided to the customer?
A. After delivery
B. Before loading begins

classified as:
A. Minor clerical violation
B. Unauthorized operation
C. Acceptable if insured
D. Only a civil matter
Correct Answer: B. Unauthorized operation
