Cost to Ship Freight to San Francisco
The time of year and what part of the country a shipment is shipping to and from will affect the cost of a freight shipping quote. Part of a freight cost is the linehaul, and the farther a shipment has to travel, the more fuel is used, and the more expensive the trip will be for the carrier and, in turn, the customer. A shipment from Miami, FL, to San Francisco, CA, will be more expensive than a shipment originating from a neighboring state or city.
Among other factors affecting freight cost will be the item’s size, weight, density, and commodity being shipped. Certain commodities are given a higher freight class which correlates to a higher price to ship. The more dense and less fragile a shipment is, its freight class will typically be lower.
Freight shipping accessorials will factor into the pricing. Some examples include call before delivery, limited access pick-up, and overlength charge.
