The base rate all in is $75.00 plus any detention over 15 minutes and .4 per pound over 100 lbs.
If your delivery is small and only going a couple/three miles outside of the 20-mile zone, then we won't charge you the extra mileage!

Dead head miles if required are on a case-by-case basis depending on the load and final destination.
