How We Price This Service
Heavy Equipment Transport is priced from our published rate sheet. The rate per loaded mile steps down as the run gets longer, a $450 minimum protects short runs, and accessorials are only billed when they actually happen.
Loaded miles × tier rate (min $450) + accessorials = Your rate
1. Loaded miles
Real driving distance from pickup to delivery, calculated with live truck routing — not straight-line distance. Deadhead is already built into the expedited tier rates.
2. Tier rate
Your mileage lands in one of the bands below, from $4.50/mile on short runs down to $2.50/mile at 801–900 miles. Anything past 900 miles is quoted individually.
3. Minimum heavy equipment transport charge $450
If the mileage math comes in under the minimum, the minimum applies — dedicating a truck and driver has a floor cost.
4. Accessorials
Extra services, tolls, ferries and permits are added only when incurred, itemized on your invoice.
Example: a 250-mile run bills at $4.00/mile = $1,000. An 80-mile run at $4.50/mile comes in under the $450 minimum, so the minimum applies instead.
