Table of Measurements
Turn a room-by-room survey into accurate cube and weight — the backbone of an honest estimate.
Tight pricing starts with an honest cube count.
The Table of Measurements, or cube sheet, records the volume of the shipment item by item so you can calculate weight and price accurately. It is the working document behind a reliable estimate.
Guessing volume leads to blown estimates and unhappy customers. A structured cube sheet keeps your pricing tight and defensible.
Everything an auditor expects to see.
Each Table of Measurements 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.
- Room-by-room item and cube listing
- Standard cube values for common items

Guess the volume and you gift away the margin.
Accurate measurements feed an accurate estimate and BOL — the difference between a profitable job and a costly dispute.
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.
Surveying so the estimate is real
The cube sheet is the working document behind every reliable estimate. Volume drives weight, weight drives price, and a sloppy survey drives blown quotes: under-quote and you eat the difference, over-quote and you lose the job.
A structured, room-by-room count with standard cube values keeps surveyors consistent and estimates defensible. When a customer questions the number, you can walk them through the sheet item by item instead of shrugging.
It is the least visible document on this list and one of the most financially important. Movers who survey well quote well; the rest chase change orders all day.
Table of Measurements — common questions
What is a table of measurements?+
A cube sheet — an item-by-item record of the shipment's volume, used to calculate weight and price. It is the basis for an accurate estimate.
Why does cube accuracy matter?+
Because volume drives the price. An inaccurate cube sheet leads to blown estimates, change-order fights and lost margin.
Should bulky items be noted separately?+
Yes. Pianos, safes and large appliances need special handling and charges; noting them on the cube sheet keeps the estimate honest.
