When to use final mile delivery

  • Store rollouts
  • Job-site delivery
  • Heavy consumer goods

What it costs and what drives the rate

Rates on final mile delivery move with lane balance, fuel, seasonality, and how much notice you give. Freight booked three or more days out consistently prices lower than same-day coverage on the same lane. Accessorials such as liftgate, driver assist, detention, and tarping are quoted separately, and we list them on the rate confirmation rather than surprising you on the invoice.

The fastest way to a firm number is a complete freight description: origin and destination ZIP, commodity, weight, dimensions or pallet count, and the pickup window.

Frequently asked questions

Is final mile the same as white glove?

No. Final mile is the delivery leg; white glove is a service level that can be applied to it.

Can you deliver without a dock?

Yes, with liftgate-equipped equipment.
