Cost Factors
Dimensional Weight
Carriers calculate cost based on how much space the item takes up on a trailer versus its actual weight.
Equipment Needed
Items requiring flatbeds, lowboys, lift gates, or forklifts for loading increase the cost.
Permits and Escorts
Truly oversized loads that exceed street-legal dimensions require DOT permits and sometimes pilot cars.
Disassembly
Items like slate pool tables must be completely disassembled prior to moving and reassembled/leveled afterward.
Money-Saving Tips
- Provide exact dimensions (L x W x H) and weight when requesting quotes.
- For industrial equipment, verify if the origin or destination has a loading dock or forklift available.
- Ensure the carrier has high-limit commercial liability insurance sufficient to cover the replacement cost of your equipment.
