Planning basics for this move
- Get 3+ written estimates at least 4–8 weeks out, and confirm whether each is binding, non-binding, or binding-not-to-exceed.
- Verify your mover's USDOT/MC number on FMCSA SAFER before you pay any deposit.
- Ask specifically how weight vs. cubic-foot pricing applies to your quote — the two methods aren't directly comparable between companies.
- Confirm your delivery window in writing.
