Overview
Why truck shipping needs the right equipment match
Trucks vary enormously in size, and that variation matters more for shipping than it does for a standard sedan. A lifted full-size pickup, a crew-cab dually or a cargo van can push against a standard open carrier’s height and weight limits, so LoadX confirms exact dimensions before assigning equipment rather than after a truck shows up too tall to load.
Most trucks ship on open transport, the same multi-car carriers used for standard vehicles, as long as height and weight fall within normal limits. Oversized trucks, including those with lift kits, oversized tires or towed equipment, may need our oversized vehicle transport service instead.
Whether it is a personal daily driver, a work truck or a dealer trade, the process is the same: confirm the specs, match the equipment, and dispatch a verified carrier. Get a quote with the year, make, model and any modifications.
Included with every truck shipment
- Dimensions and weight confirmed before carrier assignment
- Equipment matched to standard or oversized specifications
- Door-to-door pickup and delivery in most areas
- Signed bill of lading with a condition report
- A coordinator familiar with truck-specific logistics
Why LoadX
Why truck owners ship with LoadX
Getting the equipment match wrong means a truck that cannot load at all — we check specs before dispatch, not on the day of pickup.
Dimensions confirmed up front
Height, length and weight are verified before a carrier is assigned, avoiding a failed loading attempt on pickup day.
Equipment matched to the truck
Standard trucks use standard carriers; lifted or oversized trucks are routed to equipment built for the extra dimensions.
Comfortable with work vehicles
Fleet and commercial truck moves are handled with the same care as a personal vehicle shipment.

Every carrier is confirmed for active authority and cargo insurance before dispatch.
Condition documented both ends
A signed bill of lading protects personal and work vehicles alike.
A coordinator who checks specs first

Pickup and inspection

Pricing factors
What determines your transport price
Auto transport is a live market. These five variables explain almost every dollar of difference between two quotes.
Distance and route
Longer moves cost more in total but less per mile. Busy interstate corridors price better than rural routes that pull a driver off their lane.
Vehicle size and condition
Height, length and weight decide how many units fit on a trailer. Lifted trucks, duallys and non-running vehicles need specific equipment.
Transport type
Enclosed trailers carry fewer vehicles with more protection, so they typically run 40 to 60 percent above the open rate on the same lane.
Season and timing
Snowbird season, summer relocations and end-of-quarter dealer volume tighten capacity. Flexible dates almost always lower the price.
Pickup and delivery locations
Metro-to-metro moves are the most competitive. Remote addresses, gated communities and narrow streets may need a nearby meeting point.

Questions
Service FAQs
Can a lifted truck ship on a standard carrier?
It depends on the total height with the lift and tires. Give us the exact measurements and we will confirm whether standard or oversized equipment is needed.
Do you ship work trucks and commercial vehicles?
Yes, fleet and commercial trucks ship the same way personal vehicles do, with the same carrier verification and documentation.
What if my truck has a towed trailer or equipment attached?
Attached equipment typically needs to be removed before shipping, or shipped separately. Ask your coordinator about your specific setup.
How is truck shipping priced compared to a car?
Standard trucks price similarly to large SUVs. Oversized or heavily modified trucks are quoted based on the specialized equipment required.
Can a non-running truck be shipped?
Yes, using a winch-equipped carrier. Let us know in advance so the correct equipment is assigned.
