What moves the price
- Pickup date and lead time. Same-day and Friday pickups cost more; two to five days of notice gets the best price.
- Weight. Most dry vans carry up to about 42,000 to 44,000 lb. Heavier loads need special equipment or permits.
- Stops and appointments. Each extra stop adds a charge; tight delivery windows and drop trailers change the price.
- Detention and lumpers. Free time is usually two hours at each end; waiting past it, or a lumper to unload, is billed.
- Hazmat, team service, tarps and temperature. Each needs a qualified carrier or extra equipment.
Not a full truck? Under about 6 pallets or 10,000 lb, LTL is usually cheaper; between that and half a trailer, ask for a volume LTL quote. LTL vs truckload: when to switch.
