How to determine the cost of a transportation service

When
choosing a transportation company for your warehouse, it’s important to first
determine how much you need to move and secondly figure out the cost of the
service.
There is no one-size-fits-all answer to this question as the cost of a
transportation service will vary depending on the size of your warehouse and
the type of transportation that you choose. However, some general tips to
follow include:

-Determine the volume of goods that you need to move. This will help you
determine the size of the truck or van you will need.
-Consider the time of year. The cost of transportation will increase during
peak season.
-Be aware of transportation restrictions in your area. Some areas have weight
or size limitations for trucks or vans.
-Be aware of the transportation company’s terms and conditions. Some companies
require a down payment, while others offer a payment plan.
-Be aware of the transportation company’s customer service. Is the company easy
to reach and talk to? Is the customer service phone line staffed 24/7?
