What a move with Pikes Peak Moving & Storage should cost

Before you book Pikes Peak Moving & Storage: six questions
Ask these on the first call. The answers matter more than the ranking, and an established carrier answers all six without hesitation.
- Will your own employees load, drive and deliver, or is the far end subcontracted?
- Will my shipment be consolidated with other households, and how does that change the delivery window?
- Is the estimate binding, non-binding or binding not-to-exceed, and was it based on a video or in-home survey?
- What is the delivery window in writing, and what do you pay if you miss it?
- What does full-value protection cost on my shipment, and what is the deductible?
- Is USDOT 44799 the number that will appear on my bill of lading?
Then run the six checks in how to check a moving company, and read the nine red flags so you recognise the ones that do not apply here.

As an independent carrier, Pikes Peak Moving & Storage is the company that quotes, loads, drives and delivers under its own number. The USDOT on your bill of lading should be 44799; a different number means another carrier has been brought in, which is something to ask about before loading day rather than after.
What is Pikes Peak Moving & Storage's USDOT number?

How big is Pikes Peak Moving & Storage?

Does Pikes Peak Moving & Storage have a good safety rating?
Pikes Peak Moving & Storage holds a Satisfactory rating, the best of the three the FMCSA assigns, from a compliance review completed on 2001-05-01. A rating reflects the carrier's compliance at the time of the review and does not change until another review is done, so read it alongside the current inspection and crash figures on SAFER.
Is Pikes Peak Moving & Storage a van line, an agent or an independent mover?
An independent carrier. Pikes Peak Moving & Storage moves households under its own authority with its own trucks and crews rather than through a van-line network, so the company you book is the company that turns up. Ask how it handles the far end of a long move: its own crew, a partner carrier, or consolidation with other shipments.

Pikes Peak Moving & Storage does not publish a rate card and we do not hold its quotes; every long-distance price is set by weight, distance, date and the survey. From our published model a three-bedroom home over 1,000 miles should quote near $5,175 – $6,900 for full-service movers, transport only, and $14,490 – $19,320 over 2,800 miles. Get a surveyed, binding not-to-exceed estimate from Pikes Peak Moving & Storage and two other carriers and compare them against that range.
