Six factors that move the needle on your final rate.
The single biggest driver of cost. Longer hauls cost more in absolute terms but less per mile. Coast-to-coast routes average 2,500+ miles.
Larger vehicles — full-size trucks, SUVs, and vans — take up more space on the carrier and weigh more, increasing the rate by 10–15%.
Open carriers are the industry standard and most affordable. Enclosed adds 30–40% but shields your vehicle from road debris and weather.
Snowbird season (Oct–Jan), summer moves, and holiday weekends drive up demand. Off-peak shipping can save 10–20%.
Diesel costs are passed through to the customer. High fuel periods add a modest surcharge across most routes.
Popular routes (FL, CA, TX corridors) have plentiful carriers. Remote or rural destinations may command a premium due to limited coverage.
