Why is long-distance different in Coastal San Diego?
Coastal long-distance origins skew heavy toward La Jolla and Coronado retirees moving to Arizona, Nevada, or Texas, plus PB renters bouncing to LA or Bay Area tech jobs. We bind a flat-rate quote based on cube count, not weight estimates, so the price doesn't move after the truck pulls away. Coronado's Naval Air Station families get GBL paperwork support for the JPPSO portal. The narrow Village streets and Coronado Bridge weight limits sometimes require a smaller relay truck to a staging point in Chula Vista where contents transfer to the over-the-road tractor.

What's the difference between a binding and non-binding estimate?
A binding estimate is a fixed price based on a survey of your inventory. If the actual weight comes in higher, you still pay the quoted price. A non-binding estimate is a guess, and you pay the actual weight at the published tariff rate, which can run 10 to 30 percent over the estimate. We default to binding because surprises at delivery are bad business. FMCSA gives you the right to either option in writing.
What's Full Value Protection versus Released Value?
Released Value is the federal default and costs nothing extra: we pay 60 cents per pound per article if something is lost or damaged. A 50-pound TV is worth $30 under Released Value, regardless of replacement cost. Full Value Protection costs roughly 1 percent of the declared value of your shipment and pays repair, replacement, or current cash value. For most households moving anything they'd actually replace, FVP is the right call.
