How Movers Calculate Your Estimate

Have you ever wondered how a moving company in NJ calculates your estimate? If you didn't know already the estimate is the set price the whole move will cost. There are many things that factor the final price in the end. Many companies offer free estimates but need to know a few things before they can give you a set price for your move.

Before anything a moving company in NJ needs to know how far you are moving. Whether it be across town or to another state, this plays a part in the estimate. Distance is a factor that brings in gas after they see how far they need to travel.

Once that is decided you then need to plan out how many things are being moved. This lets the movers see how much they are moving. Depending on the amount of boxes and sizes, the moving company will know how many trucks they will need and the size of the trucks as well. No matter the number of furniture and boxes that need to be loaded into a truck, weight plays another factor. If something is very heavy, like a piano, it could take more gas than a truck with a few boxes. Movers also like to know how many movers they will need to bring on the job. That also factors in the difficulty of carrying specific items out of your home. Heavier and wider objects may need a few more people to help carry it.

There are many different factors that come into play when a moving company in NJ decides on the estimate for your moving job. If you’re interested in moving services in NJ give Gibraltar Van Lines a call at 1-800-262-3499 and speak with a moving expert today!
