The company providing the quote is not the same company that does the actual moving.

My family is moving cross country, I've been bombarded with tons of quotes

Don't hire one. Chances are you will be disappointed. Go with ABF instead

I've tried that. They are by far the most expensive quote I've been given.

This is truth. Horrible industry. Hard to go after them.

Yep. The problem is the regulation and the fact that you can't litigate

Yours is one of the only horror stories I've ever heard about full-service

I am eagerly awaiting the time when we can do this.

My experience is that it's more about the individual drivers and movers

Plan to pay 50% more than the quote. They nickel and dime.
