What does carrier availability mean?

It's an estimate of how much truck space is open for new bookings over the next two weeks. High availability usually means faster pickups and more competitive prices.

Why do pickup times vary?

Pickups are quickest on busy interstate corridors and slowest in rural areas, during peak season and when the pickup window is only one or two days.

What if no carriers are available for my dates?

Widen your pickup window, consider meeting the truck near a major highway, or choose expedited service for a firm date.

Is availability different for enclosed transport?

Yes. Enclosed trailers carry fewer cars and there are fewer of them, so enclosed shipments usually need more notice, especially in summer.

Are these real prices or estimates?

They're estimates built from quoted, booked and completed shipment prices, shown as averages and typical ranges. A price only becomes a confirmed rate when a carrier accepts your specific shipment.
