Get Shipping Bids for White Glove & Specialized Freight
Instead of posting your freight on a bidding site and waiting for replies, ask the carrier directly. Professional Moving Solutions gives you a direct bid on white glove and specialized freight, with a quick answer from the company that will actually move it. Fill in the form below, or call 866-216-7742.
A direct shipping bid, not an auction
Shipping bidding sites and freight bidding websites let you post a job so that carriers can compete for it. That can work for simple freight, but for white glove or specialized freight it often means a long list of bids from companies you know little about, with different assumptions behind each price.
A direct shipping bid works the other way. You send the details to one carrier, and that carrier tells you what it will charge and what is included. You know who is moving your freight, who is answering the phone and who is accountable for the result. Many customers also ask us for a commercial moving bid or a moving company bid to compare with their other offers, and we are happy to provide one.
What we need for an accurate bid
The more complete the information, the more accurate the bid. Please send:
- Pickup and delivery ZIP codes
- Whether the shipment is domestic or international
- Dimensions of each piece, or of the pallets or crates
- Weight, or your best estimate
- Photos of the items and the packaging
- Your requested pickup date and any delivery deadline
- Access details at either end, such as stairs, a loading dock or a liftgate requirement
If you do not have every detail, send what you have. We will tell you what is missing and give you a firm figure as soon as we can.
Fast turnaround on bids
Time-sensitive freight cannot wait days for replies. We review each request promptly and reply by phone or email with a figure and an explanation of what it covers. For urgent shipments, call us at 866-216-7742 any hour of the day, 7 days a week, and we will take the details over the phone.

Auction shipping
Bought something at auction? Winning the lot is only half the job: the item has to leave the site on the pickup day and reach you in one piece. We handle auction pickup shipping for furniture, equipment and other lots, with a bid based on the items, the pickup site and your deadline. Auction houses usually set a removal window, so send us the lot details and the pickup date as soon as you win.
We also handle medical and laboratory equipment auctions, where pieces can be heavy, sensitive and awkward to move.
Why ask us directly
- One carrier, one point of contact, one price you can plan around
- Background checked, drug screened drivers and helpers
- Blanket wrap, crated and palletized options on air-ride trucks
- Storage in Richmond, VA, from 1 to 100 pallets, and a location in Edison, NJ
- Nationwide service, 24/7
