Freight trailer costs from Burlington, VT to Richmond, VA

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 Burlington, Vermont, to Richmond, Virginia. 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 $1,024 and $2,143.

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 $79 - $158 more per foot.
