Freight trailer costs from Dallas, TX to Baltimore, MD

Freight trailers are a good fit for medium-to-large moves where you need more space than a container but don't want to drive a rental truck from Dallas, Texas, to Baltimore, Maryland. The trailer is delivered to your address, you load it, and the carrier takes it the rest of the way.

Unlike truck rentals with flat rates, freight trailers scale with your shipment. Every additional section of trailer space you fill increases your total. Most long-distance moves using this method run roughly between $1,407 and $2,754.

What other costs come with freight trailers?

• Demand cycles: Trailer costs climb during peak moving season, especially from mid-May through mid-September when demand is at its highest.
• More space: You're billed only for the linear feet you use, but underestimating your inventory means paying for extra space, typically around $73 - $146 more per foot.
• Moving labor: Freight trailers don't include loading crews. Two movers in Dallas, Texas, for about five hours typically runs $680.

1. MovingYourself (5/5 stars): MovingYourself is the pick for best for large moves.

2. U-Pack (5/5 stars): U-Pack offers the best value freight trailer on this route. Alongside their flagship container service, U-Pack provides a top-notch freight trailer option that follows the same model: no deposits, no upfront fees, and pricing based on the linear footage you actually use.
