How our verified mover network works
When you request a binding quote, we route your move details to one FMCSA-licensed carrier handling your specific route. The vetting happens before the handoff — by the time a mover contacts you, they've already cleared our verification process.
01
FMCSA-licensed only
Every mover we route a lead to holds active USDOT and Motor Carrier authority. We verify against the FMCSA SAFER database before forwarding any quote request.
02
One mover per request
When you ask for a binding quote, we hand-pick a single carrier suited to your route — never a multi-mover bidding war on your phone number.
03
Phone numbers stay private
Your contact info goes to one mover and to our internal record-keeping only. We don't sell or syndicate phone numbers to data brokers or lead aggregators.
How Orlando → Tampa pricing works
Moving costs from Orlando to Tampa are calculated by weight (driven by home size) multiplied by distance (about 94 miles metro-to-metro) and a per-mile corridor rate. This corridor runs about $0.76 per pound per 1,000 miles (+8% above the $0.70 national baseline) — very short long-distance moves carry the highest per-mile rate.
Orlando and Tampa are both in Florida, so this is treated as an in-state move. Movers don't need federal authority for in-state work, but they should hold Florida state-level licensing through the public utility commission or department of transportation.
Peak season (mid-May through August) runs 15–25% above winter rates because demand for trucks on this route spikes. Mid-week, mid-month off-peak moves are consistently the cheapest option.
