Rules that apply to this move

See binding vs non-binding estimates and valuation explained.
Before you book Fremont to Albuquerque
Ask: dedicated or consolidated?
This is the distance where carriers split. A dedicated truck costs more and delivers on a date; a consolidated load costs less and delivers in a window. Decide which you are buying before you compare prices.
Get it binding or not-to-exceed
A non-binding estimate is a guess with no ceiling. On 1,011 miles the gap between a guess and a weighed load is measured in four figures.
