Brokers vs direct carriers for a $900 move from Denver to Phoenix, which side is right?
I keep seeing people say brokers always tack on hidden fees, but my quote from a broker came in $200 under the two carriers I called directly. Does anyone have real numbers from a recent move, or is this just luck?

Brokers lowball you on the quote and then jack it up on delivery day, that's the whole game. Your $200 savings can flip into a $400 surprise once they slap on a "stair fee" or "long carry" charge that the carrier never would've added. Direct carriers usually give you a firm price because they own the truck and the crew, no middleman trying to get his cut. That cheap broker quote is bait until you get the final bill in writing.
