Power of Attorney Form
Authorize your company to act on the shipper's behalf for specific, clearly-scoped moving tasks.
Authority defined narrowly, so no one oversteps.
A limited Power of Attorney lets the shipper authorize your company to handle defined tasks on their behalf — signing for delivery, coordinating storage or acting at destination when they can't be present.
Ours is scoped narrowly and clearly so both sides know exactly what is authorized, protecting the customer and your company alike.
Everything an auditor expects to see.
Each Power of Attorney Form is personalized with your business name, USDOT / MC numbers and terms — and delivered as a print-ready PDF that drops straight into SmartMoving, MoveitPro and Moverbase.
- Clearly defined, limited scope of authority
- Shipper (principal) and company (agent) details
- Effective dates and expiration
- Revocation terms
- Signature and, where needed, notary block
Clear limits protect the customer and you.
When a customer can't be present, a proper limited POA keeps the move legal and on schedule without overreaching.
When a dispute or a DOT review comes, the company with clean, consistent, compliant paperwork is the one that walks away clean. That's the whole point of MoverDocx.
Acting for the customer without overreach
Sometimes the shipper cannot be present — a corporate relocation, a delivery while they are still traveling, storage that has to be coordinated. A limited Power of Attorney lets your company act on defined tasks without guessing where your authority ends.
The word that matters is limited. A narrowly scoped POA says exactly what your company may do, for how long, and how it can be revoked. That protects the customer from overreach and protects you from a claim that you acted without permission.
Used correctly, it keeps a move going when the customer is unreachable. Used loosely, it is a liability. Ours is scoped tightly on purpose.

When is a Power of Attorney needed on a move?+
When the shipper authorizes the company to act on their behalf — signing for delivery, coordinating storage or acting at destination when they cannot be present.
How limited should it be?+
As narrow as the task requires. State the specific authority, the dates it applies, and how it can be revoked.
Does it need to be notarized?+
Sometimes, depending on the task and jurisdiction. The form includes a notary block for when one is needed.
