Why freight quotes vary
Distance
Price scales by mileage. 50 miles is not 200 miles.
Weight & density
A long, light box costs more than a short, dense one — carriers charge by density (weight ÷ cubic feet).
Commodity type
Hazmat runs 20–30% more for certification, handling and liability. Fragile costs more than palletized goods.
Accessorials
Lift-gate +$50, Saturday delivery +$75, residential +$100, hazmat handling +$150–300.
Seasonal demand
Peak season (Aug–Oct, Dec) rates rise 10–15%; off-season they fall.
Fuel surcharge
Tied to the current diesel price. When fuel spikes, surcharges rise; when it drops, rates fall.
Carrier availability
Tight capacity raises rates; excess capacity lowers them.
What makes our quotes different

48-hour rate lock
Even if rates spike tomorrow, your quoted price holds.

Red flags in freight quotes
No breakdown+
A broker gives a total but won't show the math. Walk away.
'Market rate'+
Prices that change daily without explanation. Run.
Estimate vs quote+
If they call it an 'estimate' it isn't binding. Avoid.
Hidden surcharges+
Fuel, dock and recovery charges that only appear after booking. Red flag.
30-day quote validity+
It means they're unsure of rates. Good brokers lock for 48 hours.
No transparency on the carrier+
You don't know who's hauling until pickup. That's risky.
Lancashire Freight does none of these — transparent, binding, accountable.
