Our pricing is/can be influenced by several factors:

● Pallet Count
● Transit Time Requirements
● B2B, Residential, or Otherwise
Final mile pricing refers to the cost of delivering goods from a distribution center or local hub to the final destination, often a residence or business. Final mile pricing is calculated based on factors such as delivery distance, shipment weight and dimensions, delivery time window (e.g., same-day, next-day), special handling requirements, and any additional services like inside delivery or assembly.
Pricing for different types of vehicles is typically based on factors such as vehicle capacity, fuel efficiency, operating costs, and the demand for that particular vehicle type. Additionally, factors like mileage, tolls, and driver availability may also impact pricing. We may use a combination of fixed rates, mileage-based rates, and surcharges to calculate pricing for different types of vehicles.
Generally speaking, any truck transit outside of 2-3 hours each direction. For us, regional hauling is anything that services the Upper Midwest – the Dakotas, Nebraska, Missouri, Iowa, Eastern Nebraska, Wisconsin, Northern Illinois, Northwestern Indiana, and Southwestern Michigan.
