Freight trailer costs from Lancaster, CA to Jackson, MS

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 Lancaster, California, to Jackson, Mississippi. 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 $1,541 and $3,156.

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 $96 - $191 more per foot.
