Revisions to MAX 4 Now in Effect
Dear CMSA Member,
The CPUC
Commission ratified the revised pages of the MAX4 on 2-25-10 and
the changes are effective immediately. CPUC staff has advised me
that they plan to mail out the revised pages to all permitted
carriers next week.
Highlights:
MAX 4 contains
rates and rules for the transportation of used household goods
and personal effects over the public highways within California
by household goods carriers. By Application (A.) 08-03-005, the
California Moving and Storage Association (CMSA) requested that
MAX 4 be revised and simplified. D.10-01-027, issued January 21,
2010, revised MAX 4 in accordance with a joint proposal of CMSA
and the Commission’s Division of Ratepayer Advocates (DRA), as
described in Ordering Paragraphs 1a. and 1b. of the decision:
Hourly rate
Territory C is eliminated, and Territory C counties are
incorporated into current Territory B, by revising Items 210 and
230 in accordance with the terms of this order, and conforming
other Items to these revisions.
Distance rate
Region 1 is eliminated, and Region 2 rates are applicable to the
entire state, by revising Items 220, 240, 300, 310, 380, and 390
in accordance with this order, and conforming other Items to
these revisions.

Tariff Changes
Dear CMSA
Member,
Our Tariff Simplification Application has been signed by the
CPUC Commission (1/21/10), and is now law.
Approved Changes:
-
Hourly rate Territory C is eliminated, and Territory C counties are incorporated into current Territory B, by revising Items 210 and 230.
-
Distance rate Region 1 is eliminated, and Region 2 rates are applicable to the entire state, by revising Items
220, 240, 300, 310, 380, and 390.
-
The productivity offset factor used in making annual rate adjustments is reset from .667 (the current factor)
to .95 for five years, effective with the tariff increase
in January 2010.
-
Commencing with the tariff increase in
January 2015, the productivity offset factor will be
re-evaluated and reset every two years. If productivity
change is positive, the productivity offset factor
will be set at 85; if productivity change is negative, it will
be set at .95.
We are working with the CPUC on the revised pages and can expect
the revisions to the tariff to be approved in the next several
months. Once the final draft is approved by the Commission the
Regional and Territorial changes will be in effect and revised
pages will be distributed to all permitted carriers. The
upcoming Communicator will have additional information.
All the best,
Steve
Weitekamp
President
The California Moving and Storage Association
