On a move that leaves Wyoming, federal rules say the mover must release the shipment when you pay 110 percent of a non-binding estimate. On a move that stays in Wyoming, there is no published statewide release percentage. Use the written estimate and, if the demand was deceptive, the Attorney General.
WYDOT's operating-authority materials require a letter of authority and insurance filings. They do not publish a statewide household-goods rate book. Get the price, the services, and the valuation in writing before the truck is loaded.
A Wyoming household move that crosses a state line is an FMCSA move. You get a written estimate, the 110 percent rule on a non-binding price, and full value protection unless you waive it. A Letter of Operating Authority does not replace that.
Try the mover first. The Attorney General reviews written consumer complaints about deceptive practices and does not act as your lawyer or take private contract fights.
