Pennsylvania freight seasons

Peak retail

Warehouses along I-78 and I-81 run hardest from late summer through the holidays.

Mountain winter

Snow on the Turnpike and I-80 mountain stretches can close roads. We plan around storms and chain laws.

Construction season

Spring to fall brings steel and building material loads for flatbed and step deck.

How we keep Pennsylvania trucks profitable

Reload in Harrisburg and the Lehigh Valley

These warehouse clusters ship huge volumes, which makes them the best place to reload after a Northeast delivery.

Count the Turnpike tolls

Pennsylvania Turnpike tolls for trucks are high. We include tolls when we compare loads so you keep more of the rate.

Hotshot for energy work

Western Pennsylvania energy projects create hotshot and flatbed freight for carriers set up for it.

Dispatch pricing: from 4% of the gross load

Dispatch fees are 4% of the gross load for dry van, reefer, flatbed, step deck and power only, 6% for box trucks and hotshots, and 10% for sprinter vans, paid only after the broker pays, with no setup fee or contract. Fleet rates are negotiable. See full pricing
