ABOUT LAWSON DRAYAGE, INC
Lawson Drayage, Inc.
In 1919, with a buckboard and horse, Charlie Lawson started BC Lawson Drayage, Inc. in San Francisco, CA.
The early days of Lawson Drayage consisted of bringing fuel to the oil lamps up and down Market Street, delivering coal from the Lazzari coal yard in South San Francisco to homes in the mission district and delivering feed to the San Francisco Zoo. During this time, the business was run out of a warehouse at 879 Florida Street where Charlie managed it from his residence above.

All movers are required to prepare an order for service before they transport your shipment.
The order for service provides you with written confirmation of the moving services that you
requested to be performed in conjunction with your shipment. It also lists the agreed upon
dates for the pickup and delivery of your shipment and amount of valuation that you requested,
along with any special services that you ordered.
It also features a place and telephone number where the mover can contact you during the move.
Additionally, the order for service shows the charges that you will be assessed for your
household move or corporate relocation. If you are moving under a non-binding estimate,
the order for service will indicate the amount of the estimated non-binding charges,
the method of payment for the charges and, in cases where the actual charges exceed the
non-binding estimate, the maximum amount that you are required to pay at the time of delivery
in order to obtain possession of your shipment (you will have 30 days following delivery to
pay the balance of the charges due). If you are moving under a binding estimate,
the order for service will show the charges that you will be required to pay at delivery,
based on the binding estimate and the terms of payment. You and your mover must sign the
order for service.
All loose items must be packed in boxes to prevent loss or damage while moving. It is
recommended that you pack all items and leave the drawers empty.
