1. Premove Survey. The contractor will determine the nature of personal property offered for
shipment either by physical inspection or telephone survey with the customer. The survey will be
conducted at a time and date mutually agreed upon between the contractor and the customer.
Any pack/pickup date changes will be coordinated with the ordering officer.
2. Weighing.
a. The gross, tare, and net weight of all shipments will be determined through the use of scales
properly certified by a state inspector of weights and measures in accordance with (IAW) the
regulations of the state or district having legal jurisdiction over the scales. Personnel
designated to operate the scales will be licensed or otherwise qualified as weigh masters if
required by the state, commonwealth, or district. When a metric scale is utilized, the
contractor will use one (1) kilogram per 2.2 pounds for conversion.
b. The contractor will submit weight tickets, reflecting gross, tare, and net weight, in duplicate,
properly certified IAW federal, state, and commonwealth or district regulations to the
ordering officer with documentation (Contract Data Requirements List [CDRL] 0002).
c. When scales are not available or their use is not practical, the application of a constructive
weight of seven (7) pounds per cubic foot will be used provided prior written approval is
obtained from the ordering officer. (See Paragraph A.2.d for constructive weight of
professional books, papers, and equipment [PBP&E], also known as PRO or PRO-Gear.)
d. When PBP&E are included as part of the shipment, the weight of each item individually
described on the inventory will be entered on the same line of the inventory next to the
description. The total weight of such articles will be annotated separately on the inventory

scales. If it is not possible or practical for the contractor to weigh the items at the time of
packing and pickup, and there is no cube indicated on the inventory, a constructive weight of
seven (7) pounds per cubic foot will be used for PBP&E.
e. The weight tickets will contain the name and address of the weighing station, date, name of
contractor, van or trailer number, name of customer, call number assigned by the ordering
officer, and signature of the weigh master.
f. For inbound personal property, the contractor will bill on the origin net weights obtained
from the Personal Property Government Bill of Lading/Bill of Lading (PPGBL/BL) or other
movement document and need not submit a weight certificate, unless a reweigh is ordered.
When a reweigh is ordered, the contractor will bill on the reweigh weight.

inbound shipments or if the PPGBL/BL is unavailable at the destination, the contractor will
