At Fort Collins, name the key holder and describe access, release hours and vehicle readiness. At Sequim, identify the receiver, unloading space and any private-road constraints.
Give the carrier two operational contacts
Ask the carrier to accept both sites for its assigned equipment.
If it offers a regional terminal instead, establish the car’s onward journey and cost. A nonrunning car needs unloading and local handling that a driveable-car proposal may not include. Keep the direction from Colorado to Washington explicit in all booking documents.

Avoid assumptions about the peninsula leg
WSDOT identifies US 101 as connecting Sequim with the rest of western Washington. That geographic connection does not prescribe the carrier’s route or establish current conditions. Have the operator choose a lawful, suitable approach and check travel information near dispatch. Washington DOT
Ask whether the proposal includes an entirely road-based journey or a specifically arranged ferry segment. Do not book a ferry independently for the truck or assume one is necessary. If a connection is proposed, the operator should explain acceptance, schedule and cost.
Turn this plan into comparable transport options
Use the actual vehicle, pickup and delivery details, timing and handling needs so every quote starts from the same scope.
Decide what handling you will accept
Provide vehicle dimensions, running condition and clearance changes. Select open or enclosed protection and ask whether the car stays on one truck. Request details of transfers, storage and who records condition at those points.
If a broker arranges the move, ask when the carrier and equipment will be confirmed. Verify the relevant business identifiers and retain dispatch and claims contacts. A convenient long-distance quote should not hide who performs the final Sequim delivery.
Coordinate timing, payment and inspection
Request a pickup window, notice process, total price, payment stages and cancellation terms. Explain any deadline and distinguish estimates from commitments. Identify a backup recipient and a storage option if the destination cannot receive the car.
Photograph condition in Fort Collins, keep the pickup report and send it to the Sequim receiver. Obtain coverage terms across the full itinerary and allow time to inspect at arrival. Record location or cost changes through the contracted business before the driver is redirected.
