## Self-Haul

**Self-haul** generally means a moving company performs the transportation of a shipment using its own operating network, equipment, or authority rather than transferring the primary haul to another carrier.

### In plain English

The company selling or managing the move also physically handles the long-distance transportation itself.

### Why it matters

Self-haul can affect control, capacity, communication, accountability, and partner relationships.

### TRE common-language definition

> **Self-Haul:** Transportation performed directly by the mover or carrier responsible for the shipment rather than outsourced to another hauling carrier.
