Frequently Asked Questions
Truckload shipping is typically more cost-effective when your shipment occupies more than 12-15 linear feet of trailer space, weighs over 15,000 pounds, or requires specialized handling. It's also preferable when you need direct point-to-point service, have time-sensitive deliveries, or want to minimize handling of your freight.
Transit times vary based on distance, but a general guideline is that truckload shipments can travel approximately 500-700 miles per day with a single driver. For example, a shipment traveling 1,500 miles would typically take 2-3 days. Expedited service with team drivers can achieve non-stop transit, covering up to 1,000 miles per day.
To provide an accurate truckload quote, we need: origin and destination addresses, pickup and delivery dates, commodity type and value, shipment dimensions and weight, any special handling requirements, and equipment type needed (if you have a preference). The more information you provide, the more accurate your quote will be.
Truckload rates are typically calculated either as a flat rate for the entire shipment or on a per-mile basis. Factors that influence the rate include distance, origin and destination markets, current capacity availability, fuel costs, equipment type, and any specialized requirements. Seasonal fluctuations and market conditions also impact truckload pricing.
