Is the online quote the final invoice?
No. The calculator is a planning estimate from city-centre distance, weight, size and the service you pick. Dispatch confirms the price before a vehicle is sent.

Questions
What should I have ready for a same-day freight quote?
Have the pickup and delivery city, the weight in kilograms, the length, width and height if the piece is bulky, and whether it is a parcel, a hot shot or a pallet. Add a phone number so dispatch can confirm the run.
Which vehicle does the estimate use?
A van is for parcel or standard loads at 80 kg or less and 0.8 cubic metres or less. Hot shot and larger pieces use a small truck. A truck and trailer is used above 1,200 kg or 6 cubic metres, and for heavier freight above 400 kg or 2 cubic metres.
How do you calculate distance?
A same-city run uses a short local distance. Other lanes use the distance between city centres, adjusted for road travel. It is not a live GPS toll.
When will my tracking number work?
After dispatch books the load and adds it in the admin. The track page then shows the status and the events saved for that number.
