COMPARE WRITTEN ESTIMATES

Build a comparable estimate after choosing a route from Dover

Compare the scope and assumptions, not only the total. Each proposal should explain what the mover will do and which conditions can change the price or schedule.

Line-haul and delivery terms

For routes from Dover, the estimate should identify direct or consolidated service, pickup timing and the delivery spread.

Inventory and crew work

Record boxes, furniture, fragile items and crew services instead of relying on an undefined all-in description.

Address-level access

Give the estimator an address-level description of the loading approach. Treat the chosen child route as the numerical planning baseline.

Route contingencies

Review DelDOT interactive maps before loading so dispatch sees current restrictions and construction. Research the destination jurisdiction and current road conditions after selecting the route.

Choose a destination before comparing the numbers for routes from Dover

Dover departures cover routes with different distances, jurisdictions and operating conditions, so the selected child route must anchor cost, timing and verification. The hub combines routes with different lengths, jurisdictions and operating conditions. Its child route is the usable planning unit.

Treat the chosen child route as the numerical planning baseline. Assign an arrival contact who can open every required delivery access point.

Recheck the corridor when the date is fixed

Review DelDOT interactive maps before loading so dispatch sees current restrictions and construction. Research the destination jurisdiction and current road conditions after selecting the route.
