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 Salt Lake City, Utah, to Bridgeport, Connecticut. 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 $1,910 and $3,948.
