COMPARE WRITTEN ESTIMATES

Scope a written estimate for Idaho to North Dakota

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.

Transportation schedule

Ask how Idaho to North Dakota will be dispatched, whether equipment changes, and which delivery dates are contractual.

Items, labor and protection

Require line items for packing, disassembly, storage, valuation and any handling outside ordinary loading.

Curb, building and carry details

Anchor the range to a child route that starts near the shipment. Choose the published destination city that best matches the delivery address.

Conditions near moving day

Use Idaho 511 when the move date is fixed; stored mileage is not a live road report. Review North Dakota road conditions as the shipment approaches the destination.
