Running a moving company in Texas involves navigating complex FMCSA regulations and state-specific at-will employment laws. Protecting your business requires more than a handshake; you need a contract that addresses industry-specific risks like property damage, worker injuries, and valuation disputes. By incorporating Texas Business and Commerce Code § 15.50 for non-compete enforceability and clear Bill of Lading responsibilities, you mitigate liabilities related to inventory loss and ensure compliance with Texas Labor Code § 21.051. This document solidifies job expectations for drivers and loaders while shielding your company from DTPA claims and operational disputes.
Beyond the standard employment contract sections, this template adds fields specific to Moving Company Owner:
An employment contract establishes a formal employment relationship between an employer and an employee, outlining the terms and conditions of employment, rights, obligations, and responsibilities of both parties. It provides legal protection and clarity, ensuring compliance with employment laws and minimizing the risk of misunderstandings and disputes.
Worker Injuries
Implementation of comprehensive safety and training programs; use of workers' compensation insurance.
For this employment contract to be legally valid:
Common mistakes to avoid:
Under Tex. Bus. & Com. Code § 15.50, non-compete agreements must be ancillary to an otherwise enforceable agreement. For moving companies, this means your restrictions must be reasonable in scope, geography, and duration to protect trade secrets like your client lists or proprietary packing methods.
Yes. If your movers are operating commercial vehicles, the contract should specify that compliance with FMCSA safety standards, driver qualification files, and hours of service is a fundamental duty of their employment to maintain your USDOT and MC authority.
Since Texas allows employers to be 'non-subscribers' to workers' compensation, your contract must clearly state your insurance status. It should also outline mandatory safety training adherence to mitigate the high physical risks associated with moving heavy household goods and using packing materials.
To protect against property damage claims, your contract should define the employee's responsibility in maintaining the inventory list and following proper valuation coverage protocols (Full Value Protection vs. Released Value) as required by state and federal household goods regulations.
