Frequently asked questions

Is Freight cheaper in smaller cities?
Often, but not always. Smaller markets can carry a travel or availability premium that offsets a lower local rate, so it is worth checking a nearby city before assuming the lowest published figure applies to you. For Baltimore, ask a provider to put that in writing with the quote.
How many quotes should I get for freight?
