## Description

Haulest Moving Cost adds three shortcodes to any post, page, or widget:

 * `[haulest_moving_cost]` prints a table of moving cost ranges by home size and
   distance for the United States, Canada, or the United Kingdom.
 * `[haulest_licence_check]` prints a box where a reader types a USDOT or MC number(
   or a legal name) and opens the live FMCSA authority record on haulest.com.
 * `[haulest_quote_button]` prints a button to request written quotes from licensed
   movers.

The ranges are planning ranges compiled by Haulest from published industry tables
and public quote examples. They are not bids and not a first-party median. A written
quote from a licensed mover still wins. Haulest is not a carrier and does not operate
trucks.

**Shortcode options**

 * `market`: `us` (default), `ca`, or `uk`.
 * `distance`: `all` (default) for the full table, or one band: `local`, `regional`,`
   mid`, `long`, `cross-country`.
 * `title`: your own heading.
 * `button`: `0` hides the quote button under the table.

Examples:

 * `[haulest_moving_cost market="us"]`
 * `[haulest_moving_cost market="ca" distance="long" title="Toronto to Vancouver,
   what people pay"]`
 * `[haulest_licence_check title="Is your mover licensed?"]`
 * `[haulest_quote_button text="Compare moving quotes"]`

**Where the data comes from**

The plugin fetches `https://haulest.com/data/moving-costs-2026.json` once every 
12 hours and caches it with a transient. If haulest.com cannot be reached, the copy
bundled with the plugin is used. No reader data is sent anywhere: the table renders
on your server, and the licence box and quote button are plain links that open haulest.
com in a new tab. Each table shows a “Data by Haulest” link.

### External services

This plugin connects to haulest.com (operated by Panaweb LLC) to download the cost
dataset. The request carries only the plugin version in its user agent. Terms: https://
haulest.com/terms. Privacy: https://haulest.com/privacy.

## Installation

 1. Upload the plugin folder to `/wp-content/plugins/` or install it from the Plugins
    screen.
 2. Activate it.
 3. Add a shortcode to a post, page, or a Shortcode block.

## FAQ

### Are the numbers quotes?

No. They are research ranges with a date on them. The plugin says so under every
table.

### Does the plugin add tracking?

No scripts, no cookies, no pixels. Links to haulest.com carry UTM tags so the Haulest
desk can see that a visit came from a WordPress site.

### Can I change the colours?

Yes. Every element has a `haulest-mc__` class. Override them in your theme’s stylesheet.
