How Much Does Freight Shipping Cost?
Generally, our shipping rate at A-1 Auto Transport is very affordable. However, all shipments do not carry the same price and it's for the following reasons:
- Destination of your Freight: We always consider the shipment waiting to be moved at our customer's destination. What this means is that if we have goods waiting for us at your freight destination, it would cost less for us to handle your freight shipments.
- Accessories Required for your Shipping: If your shipment needs extra things like drop trailers or driver assistance, these things may add up to the initial price. Your shipping deadline.

Full Truck Load Freight Transport
FTL, or full truckload freight shipping, is a way you can ensure that only your items are transported in a truck. Regardless of whether your items fill the truck or not, you will pay for the whole space.
Keep in mind that a full truckload might carry up to 20,000 pounds in weight, depending on the type of item you want to ship.
This method is beneficial for clients that are shipping high-volume items. If what you are transporting will fill a full truck, then this is the method for you. It is also a good idea when you are transporting fragile or perishable items.
If you want high-quality FTL shipping services, contact A-1 Auto Transport.
Less Than Truck Load Freight Transport
In the Less Than Truck Load shipping method, the shipping company uses a single truck to transport cargo belonging to more than one client. This is a common practice by customers transporting items that won't fill a truck.
The customer pays for the space the cargo will occupy and not the whole truck. The shipping company keeps taking shipping orders and loading various cargo into the truck until the truck is full.
If you are shipping a few items, this method will be a good idea since you won't have to pay for the whole volume of the truck. However, LTL shipping has longer delivery times because a single truck will have multiple destinations.
A-1 Auto Transport is a great option for Less Than Truck Load shipping in California.

Frequently Asked Questions
We ship to all the counties and 482 cities in California and we can pick up freights from those places as well for shipping to other parts of the US.
Your freight cost will be calculated based on the weight of your freight, freight mode, and distance or route. Also, parts of what will determine your cost are whether you are shipping with a full truckload (FTL) or less than truck load (LTL). LTL shipping is cheaper than FTL when you have only a few items to ship. Use our free quote tool to get actual freight costs.
You can get your freight delivered to or outside of California in a business day if the distance is short or if you use air freight for a far distance. Some land freights can also get delivered within a day, especially for full truckload (FTL) freight shipping. That's because the carrier deals with only one customer and the freight are ready to leave as soon as it's loaded. That's unlike LTL shipping where freights are handled for many customers, and that slows the shipping and delivery process.
Freight carriers calculate chargeable weight using the gross weight or volumetric weight. Gross weight is the combined weight of your shipment, packaging, and pallets while volumetric weight is derived by dividing your shipment's volume (Lbh) by the density ratio of the shipment mode.
