Restricted hours are from 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. Once the move begins, only the law enforcement officers have the authority to alter the route due to emergency or safety reasons.

(3)

Notify of damage: Notify the inspection division in writing of any and all damage done to property belonging to the city-parish within twenty-four (24) hours after the damage or injury has occurred.

(4)

All equipment used shall have a current license tag on the tractor, current commercial safety sticker, inspected by the Louisiana Department of Public Safety, current license tag on the trailer, and a properly posted sign on the tractor showing moving contractor's name. In addition, a copy of insurance, vehicle registration, and city-parish approved permit must be in the vehicle.

(5)

The contractor shall pay the law enforcement officers the assigned rate. The house mover will have thirty (30) minutes from the starting time to begin the move; if the thirty-minute time has lapsed, then the move will be terminated for that day. Due to shift changes, it will be necessary to have a cutoff time of 2:00 p.m.; however, should the house mover want to continue his move to 3:00 p.m., it will be necessary to hire two (2) more motorcycle units to continue the escort. Notice for a house moving will be given to the traffic office the day before the move (24 hours). Any cancellation will be two (2) hours before the scheduled time of the move.

(10)

Notify all needed escorts a minimum of one (1) work day in advance of the move. In the event of any delay or cancellation of the move for that day, notify all escorts a minimum of the beginning of that work day.
