Quote Decoder FAQ

How do you decide whether my quote is fair?
We compare the number you were quoted against what those moves actually completed for on the open marketplace and against the named-broker quotes we track for the same route, vehicle size, and trailer type. Every comparison is labeled by source.
What is the lowball-then-raise setup?
A broker wins your booking with a price well below the market, cannot find a carrier to haul it that cheap, then calls back days later asking for more once your move is time-sensitive. When your quote lands suspiciously low, we flag it so you can plan for it.
Do I have to give my phone number or email?
No. You paste a quote you already have and get a grade back. We never collect your contact information and never sell it, which is the entire point of this site.
Is the graded price a guarantee?
No. Quotes in this market are non-binding estimates, not offers. The decoder is guidance to help you spot a bad number and negotiate, not a promise of any price.
