Where is the vehicle going?
Mileage calculates automatically.
What actually drives your semi truck transport cost
Every quote is engineered from six inputs. No hidden fees, no percentage markups on carrier rates, and no bait-and-switch on pickup day.
Method
Trailer transport (RGN, lowboy, step deck, Landoll) vs professional driveaway with a bonded CDL operator.
Road mileage
Live OSRM routing. Per-mile rates step down as distance grows - long hauls are dramatically cheaper per mile.
Vehicle class & count
Sleeper vs day cab, tractor-trailer combos, box trucks, dumps, buses, and specialty equipment.
Condition
Non-running units add a winch / mechanical fee. Inoperable brakes or steering force trailer transport.
Dimensions & permits
Over 8.5' wide or 13.5' tall triggers oversize permits, pilot cars, and route surveys.
Urgency & access
Priority, expedited, and emergency service add a fixed multiplier. Restricted-access sites price manually.
Calculator questions, answered
Is the calculator estimate the final price?+
For standard-condition road-legal trucks under 8.5' wide and 13.5' tall, the instant number is your firm dispatch price. Oversize, non-running, or restricted-access loads route to a specialist for a firm quote within the hour.
How is mileage calculated?+
We geocode both addresses through OpenStreetMap and call OSRM for the actual driving route. This is the same distance a carrier will run - not a straight-line estimate.
Do I pay the deposit through this form?+
No. The calculator reserves your rate and dispatches your file. Payment is collected only after you confirm carrier assignment and pickup window.
What's the difference between trailer transport and driveaway?+
Trailer transport hauls your truck on an RGN, lowboy, or step deck - best for non-running, oversized, or new units. Driveaway puts a bonded CDL driver behind the wheel - best for road-legal, insured, roadworthy trucks.
