Freight trailer costs from Boise, ID to Fort Worth, TX

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 Boise, Idaho, to Fort Worth, Texas. 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. A 2 - 3 bedroom long-distance move using this method runs roughly between $1,447 and $3,058.

Take a look at freight trailer costs based on home size for moves from Boise to Fort Worth:

• 2 - 3 bedrooms: $1,447 - $3,058
• 4+ bedrooms: $1,893 - $3,735

What other costs come with freight trailers?

• More space: Freight pricing is based on exactly how much of the trailer you fill. If your items take up more than expected, the added footage can increase your cost by between $84 and $168.
• Peak season impact: Moving during peak season (mid-May to mid-September) often means higher trailer rates as demand increases across the board.
• Moving labor: Unless you plan to load everything yourself, factor in labor costs. Two movers in Boise, Idaho, for roughly five hours typically average $785.
