Semi truck transport — also called trailer-based shipping or hauling — is the process of loading your Class 8 truck onto a specialized carrier trailer and delivering it to your destination over the road. Unlike driveaway service, where a driver physically drives your truck, transport keeps your truck secured on a trailer for the entire journey. Your truck accumulates zero miles, experiences no engine wear, and remains stationary from pickup to delivery.
Tell us your pickup location, delivery destination, truck type, and whether it's running. Free all-inclusive quote in minutes.
Confirm the quote and pickup window. No upfront payment — you pay at pickup.
We assign an FMCSA-licensed carrier with the appropriate trailer. You receive carrier details and insurance documentation.
Carrier arrives, completes the Bill of Lading, and loads via ramp, winch, or ground-level gooseneck.
Your truck is chained and strapped per DOT requirements. GPS tracking available throughout transit.
A second condition inspection at delivery is compared to the pickup report. You sign the BOL and the shipment is complete.
Choosing the right trailer is critical. The correct match depends on your truck's height, weight, and operational condition.
The workhorse of semi truck transport. When paired with a day cab (8–9 ft tall), the total loaded height stays well under the 13'6" legal limit in most states. Most widely available and the most cost-effective option for day cabs and cab-and-chassis shipments.
The bridge between flatbed and lowboy. The lowered rear section provides 18–22 in. of additional vertical clearance — ideal for mid-roof sleeper cabs with 48"–60" sleepers that would exceed height limits on a flatbed.
The heavy-duty solution. The removable gooseneck lets the deck lay flat on the ground for drive-on or ground-level winch loading. Required for the tallest raised-roof sleepers (72"+) and preferred for non-running trucks.
Transport pricing is driven by five primary factors: distance, truck type and weight, trailer required, running condition, and seasonal demand.
| Distance Tier | Typical Mileage | Transit | Price Range |
|---|---|---|---|
| Short-Haul | Under 750 mi | 1–3 days | $900 – $1,600 |
| Mid-Range | 750–1,500 mi | 3–5 days | $1,200 – $3,100 |
| Long-Haul | 1,500–2,200 mi | 5–8 days | $2,000 – $4,000 |
| Cross-Country | 2,200+ mi | 7–10 days | $3,200 – $5,800 |
Non-running surcharge: add $200–$500 for inoperable trucks requiring winch loading. Ranges are planning estimates — final pricing depends on lane density, trailer type, and season. Per ATRI, industry-average truck operating cost was $2.336/mi in 2025.
We ship every Class 8 semi truck manufactured in North America, in any configuration, running or non-running.

Semi truck transport loads your Class 8 truck onto a specialized trailer (flatbed, step-deck, or lowboy/RGN) and hauls it to the destination. The truck accumulates zero miles and experiences no engine wear. This method works for both running and non-running trucks.
Costs range from $1.50 to $3.00 per mile depending on distance, truck type, trailer required, condition, and seasonal demand. Short-haul routes under 750 miles start around $900. Mid-range routes (750–1,500 miles) run $1,200–$3,100. Cross-country routes (2,200+ miles) run $3,200–$5,800.
Flatbed (deck at ~60 in.) for day cabs; step-deck (lowered deck at 38–42 in.) for mid-roof sleepers; lowboy/RGN (deck at 18–24 in.) for raised-roof sleepers and non-running trucks.
Yes. Non-running trucks are loaded via winch or forklift. Lowboy/RGN trailers with ground-level loading are preferred. Non-running transport typically adds $200–$500 to the total cost.
Short-haul (under 500 mi): 1–2 days. Mid-range (500–1,000 mi): 3–5 days. Long-haul (1,500–2,800 mi): 6–10 days. Federal HOS regulations limit drivers to ~550–650 miles per driving day.
Transport keeps your truck on a trailer for the entire journey — zero odometer miles. Driveaway has a CDL-licensed driver physically drive the truck — full mileage added. Transport works for running or non-running trucks; driveaway requires a road-legal, running truck.
Yes. All FMCSA-licensed carriers maintain cargo insurance, typically $100,000–$250,000 per shipment. A condition Bill of Lading is completed at pickup and delivery. Certificates of insurance are provided on request.
All Class 8 makes and models: Freightliner Cascadia, Kenworth T680/W990, Peterbilt 579/389, Volvo VNL, Mack Anthem, International LT, and Western Star 5700XE/57X. Day cabs, mid-roof and raised-roof sleepers, cab and chassis, and tractor-trailer combinations all accepted.
Standard day cabs on flatbed usually stay within legal limits (8.5 ft wide, 13.5 ft tall, 80,000 lb gross). Taller sleeper configurations may require oversize permits in specific states. We handle multi-state permitting as part of the quoted price.
Call us or use the quote form on any route page. We need your pickup city, delivery city, truck make and model, configuration (day cab or sleeper), and whether it's running or non-running. Quotes are typically returned within minutes with no obligation.
