📊 What is a Truckload Shipping Quote?
A truckload shipping quote is a price estimate for moving freight that fills an entire trailer. It’s based on variables like:
- Origin and destination zip codes
- Freight type and weight
- Equipment needed (dry van, reefer, flatbed)
- Pickup and delivery dates
- Any special services (e.g. driver assist, multi-stop)
Accurate quotes rely on having precise shipment information up front.

✅ How to Get an Accurate Truckload Quote
Here’s how to make sure your shipping estimate is spot-on every time:
1️⃣ Provide Complete Shipment Details
The more specifics you share, the better your pricing will be. Include:
- Number of pallets or crates
- Total weight (in pounds)
- Dimensions (L x W x H of each pallet)
- Freight class, if applicable
- Commodity type
- Hazardous material status
Example:
10 pallets, 48×40 inches, 30,000 lbs total, dry food products, non-hazmat.

2️⃣ Confirm Pickup and Delivery Addresses
Zip codes are crucial for calculating mileage and lane pricing. Specify:
- Origin zip code
- Destination zip code
- Any limited access locations (farms, schools, construction sites)
These factors can impact the final quote.

3️⃣ Choose the Right Equipment

4️⃣ Disclose Special Services Early
If your load requires:
- Liftgate service
- Appointment deliveries
- Multiple stops
- Driver assist loading/unloading
- Hazmat permits
…include those details when requesting a quote. It ensures your price includes everything upfront.
