BY THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL


Report To The Congress

OF THE UNITED STATES




The Household Goods Moving Industry:

Changes Since Passage Of Regulatory

Reform Legislation


Legislation enacted in 1980 reduced regulation of the
interstate household goods moving industry. GAO
reviewed the changes that have occurred among the
industry's large- and medium-size carriers--com-
monly called van lines--since passage of the 1980
legislation and the status of the Federal Govern-
ment's effort to monitor the changes. GAO found that
   --van lines have begun to offer a variety of new
   service and price options,

   --agents of van lines have obtained new authority
   or expanded their existing authority to move
   household goods in additional States, but may
   not be using it, and

   --when compared with prior years' income, the
   largest carriers were doing financially better
   than medium-sized carriers.
The Interstate Commerce Commission has developed
a monitoring program to provide information to the
Congress on van lines' compliance with its new
operating regulations. However, GAO is concerned
that the proposed program may not be fully responsive
to congressional needs for information on the impact
of the legislation on the shippers and the carriers.
