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.

Inventory and crew work

Make every quote respond to the same item list, packing choice, heavy-item notes and protection level.

Document curb control, driveway clearance and the path from home to truck. Use the child page's road distance, cost estimate and delivery range.

Route contingencies

Consult North Dakota road conditions on moving day rather than inferring conditions from the route estimate. Research the destination jurisdiction and current road conditions after selecting the route.
