Rates & Quotes
Delivery Pricing
Every run is quoted before the van moves. No brokers in the middle, no surprise line items after delivery.
Thunder Road Express quotes cargo van delivery per run rather than from a fixed price list, because the rate depends on the lane, urgency, load size, timing, and whether the run is recurring. Call (586) 339-0277 with your pickup and delivery addresses and we will quote it on the call — the price is confirmed before the van moves, with no broker markup and no after-the-fact surcharges.
- •Quoted per run, confirmed before dispatch
- •No broker markup — you talk to the carrier
- •Recurring routes get a lower route rate
- •No contract required for one-off runs
What Drives the Rate
Distance & Lane
Metro Detroit runs price differently than a straight-through lane to Nashville or Charlotte.
Urgency
An immediate line-down dispatch reserves the van right now; a scheduled run planned a day ahead does not.
Size & Weight
Van interior is about 74" L x 54" W x 70" H. Skid count and weight affect handling and loading time.
Timing
Nights, weekends, and holidays are quoted at booking — we dispatch around the clock.
Wait Time
Long dock waits at pickup or delivery are factored in when we know about them up front.
Frequency
Recurring routes get a route rate that is usually lower per stop than one-off dispatches.

Frequently Asked Questions
- How much does cargo van delivery cost?
- Rates are quoted per run rather than from a fixed price list, because distance, timing, and load size vary on every job. Call Thunder Road Express at (586) 339-0277 with the pickup and delivery addresses and we will quote the run on the spot.
- What determines the price of a delivery?
- Distance and the specific lane, how urgent the pickup is, the size and weight of the load, wait time at either end, whether the run is after hours or on a weekend, and whether it is a one-off or a recurring route.
- Do you charge extra for nights and weekends?
- After-hours and weekend runs are quoted at the time of booking. We dispatch 24/7 and tell you the rate before the van moves — there are no surprise surcharges added afterward.
- Is a recurring route cheaper than individual dispatches?
- Usually yes. Recurring daily, weekly, or multi-shift routes are quoted as a route rate, which is typically lower per stop than booking each run separately.
- Do you require a contract?
- No. One-off runs are welcome. Contracts are only used when a customer wants a committed dedicated route.
- How do I get an exact quote?
- Call (586) 339-0277 or submit the quote form with the pickup address, delivery address, what is moving, its approximate size and weight, and when it needs to be there.
