What should delivery cost?
There is no universal shipping rate. Price depends on mileage, truck dimensions and weight, whether the truck runs, the transportation method, fuel prices, scheduling flexibility and whether permits or escort vehicles are required.
As a general planning guide:
Pickup or light commercial truck on an open carrier: approximately $0.70–$1.25 per mile
Driveaway delivery of an operable commercial truck: approximately $1.50–$2.25 per mile
Flatbed or step-deck transportation: approximately $2.00–$4.50 per mile
Lowboy/RGN transport for a heavy, oversized or non-running truck: approximately $3.50–$8.00+ per mile.
For example, transporting a typical commercial truck 1,000 miles might cost approximately $2,000–$3,000, while an oversized or non-running truck could cost $3,000–$5,000 or more. Rates per mile frequently decrease on longer, high-volume routes. Current industry estimates place general commercial-truck transport around $2–$5 per mile, depending on the vehicle and shipment.
Before selecting a provider, obtain at least two or three written quotes and confirm:
Whether the company is the actual carrier or a transportation broker
Cargo and liability insurance limits
Pickup and delivery windows
Whether fuel, tolls, permits and escort vehicles are included
Procedures for documenting the truck’s condition
Whether driveaway delivery will add mileage to the vehicle
Who is responsible if the truck experiences a mechanical problem in transit
Buying online gives businesses access to substantially more inventory than shopping only within driving distance. Start your search at CommercialTruckSales.com, compare vehicles from dealers across the country, and include transportation costs when evaluating the total delivered price.
