How these figures are calculated
At the Billings end
No listed carrier is based within 30 miles of Billings; movers in Montana.
Rules that apply to this move
Because the truck crosses from Utah into Montana, 49 CFR Part 375 applies: a written estimate before loading, no more than 110% of a non-binding estimate collected at delivery, and full-value protection unless you choose released value in writing. See binding vs non-binding estimates and valuation explained.
Before you book Saint George to Billings
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 765 miles the gap between a guess and a weighed load is measured in four figures.
