What goes into a quote
- Route. Distance matters, and so does how busy the lane is. A common lane between big cities is easier to fill than a rural one.
- Open or enclosed. Enclosed generally costs more. See open and enclosed.
- The car. Size and weight take trailer space. A car that does not run needs extra equipment to load.
- Season and timing. Summer and holiday weeks are busy. A flexible pickup date gives carriers room to fit you in.
- Pickup and delivery points. A big parking lot near a highway is easier for a truck than a narrow street.
Be careful with a quote that is far below the rest
A very low number can mean a carrier will not take the load at that price. The quote then climbs or the pickup slips. Ask what the quote covers and when it is firm.

Questions people ask
Why not just list prices?
Shipping prices move with the route, the season and carrier availability. A table would be out of date soon and would not match your trip.
Can I get a cheaper quote if I wait?
Flexible dates can help, since a carrier already heading your way may have room. A hard deadline can add to the price. Tell us how flexible you are.
