Transparent Freight Pricing

We believe freight pricing shouldn't be a mystery.

Our goal is to provide clear and upfront cost information, eliminating unwelcome surprises.

While several factors influence shipping rates, we're committed to transparency every step of the way.​​​​

Key Elements Influencing Price

A primary driver is the fundamental principle of market supply and demand:

  • Supply: The number of trucks available in a given area.

  • Demand: The volume of freight requiring transportation.

  • Lane Capacity

    Current availability of trucks and the volume of freight needing transport in specific lanes.


  • Origin & Destination

    The origin and destination significantly affect pricing due to regional supply/demand, urban vs. rural dynamics, and specific equipment needs of those areas.

  • Equipment Type

    The specific equipment required (e.g., dry van, flatbed, refrigerated) impacts pricing based on availability and specialization.

  • Equipment Demand

    Depending on the geographical location, one type of equipment might be in higher demand than another.

  • Commodity Type

    The nature of the goods being shipped can affect pricing due to handling requirements, regulations, or potential risks.

  • Size & Weight

    The size and weight of the shipment directly influence fuel consumption and truck capacity utilization.

  • Oversize/Overweight

    Exceeding standard limits requires special permits, equipment, and drivers.

  • Fuel Costs

    Fluctuations in fuel costs are a significant factor in overall transportation expenses.

Additional Pricing Considerations

  • Accessorial Fees

    Charges for extra services beyond standard transportation, such as loading/unloading assistance, detention (waiting time), or redelivery.

  • Special Requests

    Non-standard requirements like expedited delivery, specific timing, or route deviations can affect pricing.

  • Specialized Freight

    Shipments needing state permits or unique equipment incur added expenses due to regulations and specialized needs.
