How Consolidated Moving Costs Are Calculated
Long-distance consolidated moving costs are typically based on the total cubic feet (ft³) your items occupy in the truck, not weight. Each item is assigned an average volume using standard moving inventory estimates, then multiplied by a per cubic foot rate.
