Truckload Freight Quote
When there is enough cargo to fill an entire trailer, full truckload shipping is a cost-effective option for supply chains. Freight shipments that exceed 5,000 to 10,000 pounds are typically suited for full truckloads. Goods that require climate control, flatbeds or special shipping considerations as well as unpackaged items, bulk shipments and breakbulk shipments are also best for full truckload transportation.
Since there’s no need for transferring shipments, full truckload freight shipping is much faster than LTL shipping, which makes several stops before reaching the final delivery location. We offer Full Truckload Shipping throughout the USA and Canada.
Full Truckload Rates: What Goes into a Freight Quote?
The full truckload rates are based on a simple calculation. They rely on a cost per mile or a flat rate, ideal for companies that have enough cargo to fill a truck. In this case, it doesn’t matter which type of products or how much you ship. The only requirements are that the total weight doesn’t exceed 45,000 lbs. and that the goods have proper freight insurance.
However, the full truckload shipments have a few variables. In this post, we break down the freight quote!

Mileage is an integral part of the price calculation. However, it isn’t that simple. Longer trips will cost more, including the increased driver hours and fuel used. Fuel prices fluctuate, and carriers adjust the fuel surcharge on a FTL Freight Shipping Rate
It is also important to note that not all trips will cost the same, even with the same mileage. We will explain more about this in the next part. We offer Full Truckload Shipping service, partial, LTL and Drayage.
Truckload Rates
A trucking lane is like a trucker road from one place to another. The prices for different lanes will vary depending on how many trucks serve the same lane. If more trucks than freight need to be shipped, the prices will be lower. If there are more goods to be shipped than trucks, the prices will go up for that particular route. For example, shipping goods to Chicago can be less expensive than shipping to a small town in Mexico. Large places like Chicago have more trucks coming in and out, lowering shipping costs.
