How fast do I get quotes?

Most customers receive multiple competitive bids within minutes of completing the scan.

Scan To Move vs U-Pack

U-Pack is a hybrid DIY move: ABF drops a trailer at your house, you load it (or hire labor), and they drive it cross-country. Scan To Move replaces the entire process with full-service licensed movers bidding on your AI-measured inventory — no loading, no driving, no guesswork.

Why Scan To Move wins

You don't load anything — licensed crews handle everything.
Bids are binding because they're based on a real AI inventory scan, not a cubic-foot estimate.
Multiple movers compete; you're not stuck with one price.
Damage liability sits with the mover, not with you.
Built-in payment protection with 30/70 escrow.

Where U-Pack wins

U-Pack can be cheaper if you and friends are willing to load a full trailer in a day.
Long-distance flat-rate pricing is predictable for small loads.

Side-by-side comparison

Feature	Scan To Move	U-Pack
Loading	Licensed crew loads everything	You (or hired labor) load
Driving	Mover drives	U-Pack drives
Pricing	Competitive bids, binding	Flat rate by linear feet
Damage liability	Mover's insurance	Mostly yours — you packed it
Best for	Anyone who doesn't want to load	DIY-comfortable, small loads

Verdict

U-Pack works if you have time, friends, and physical ability to load a trailer in a day. Scan To Move is the choice for anyone who wants a licensed crew to handle the move end-to-end, with competitive bids and binding quotes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Scan To Move offer DIY options?

No — every mover on Scan To Move is full-service. If you want DIY, U-Pack or PODS are built for that.

Which is cheaper for cross-country?

For very small loads (studio or partial 1-bedroom), U-Pack can come in lower. For full 1-bedroom and up, competitive bidding on Scan To Move typically beats U-Pack flat rates.
