I finally quit calling around and just booked a broker for my move from Phoenix to Denver
I spent 3 weeks calling individual haulers myself and got 6 different quotes ranging from $850 to $1,400 with no way to tell who was even real. Hired a broker for $1,100 flat and they had a driver at my door in 2 days, no surprise fees at drop-off. What made the difference for you, calling companies direct or letting someone else sort it out?

Man, calling direct is such a trap sometimes, those random quotes from haulers are all over the place and half of them are just lead-gen sites anyway. Brokers get a bad rep but the good ones already know which drivers actually show up, so you're basically paying for their list. The one thing I'd say is check the broker's DOT number before you book, and get the pickup and drop-off dates in writing so there's no wiggle room later. 1100 flat with no surprise fees at the other end is a solid deal for that run, you did fine. Sounds like you got lucky with a decent one, that part is honestly hit or miss.
