I’ve been gathering quotes for an upcoming move from TN to MI. And I’m running into the broker vs. carrier issue. Two different brokers quoted me $3850. Colonial Van Lines quoted me $7000 and another local moving company quoted me $6500. And it seems like the brokers are offering more. How is there such a gap between the quotes?

Should I expect the actual cost from the brokers to be much higher when things actually get going? The reviews of the brokers aren’t great and a lot of people mention the bait and switch thing. Can someone explain how they do that exactly?

I’d love to support a local family owned business but the price difference is significant.
