How Truck Shipping Works with Navi Auto Transport
Shipping a truck with Navi Auto Transport is designed to be simple, transparent, and stress-free. Our streamlined process ensures that your vehicle is picked up quickly and delivered safely:
Truck Shipping Cost Factors
our truck shipping quote is based on a few core inputs, including:
- Vehicle size and weight: Pickup trucks or duallys with lift kits, wide tires, racks, or toolboxes can require flatbed or enclosed carriers.
- Distance and route density: Long, popular lanes, such as Texas to Florida, cost less per mile than remote or rural routes.
- Carrier type: We have open carrier and enclosed carrier transport at varying prices.
- Pickup speed: Express pickup adds a premium compared to standard scheduling.
- Season: Snowbird seasons, weather, and fuel swings can impact rates.
- Operable status: Non-running or winch-required trucks add a loading fee.
While we always follow fair market bidding and route optimization, you can expect anywhere between $0.45 to $1.10 per mile for truck transport. We keep pricing transparent so you can choose the right option for your timeline and budget. Check out our guide on auto transport rates to learn more.
Open vs. Enclosed Truck Transport
When shipping a truck, choosing between open carrier and enclosed transport is one of the biggest decisions. Each option has benefits depending on your vehicle type, budget, and timeline.
Open Carrier Truck Shipping
This is the most affordable and common option. Trucks are secured on multi-vehicle haulers, often offering faster availability since open carriers run on most routes daily. Open carrier transport is required for oversized pickups or lifted trucks that cannot fit inside enclosed trailers.
Enclosed Truck Transport
This option offers premium protection against weather, dust, and road debris. Enclosed truck transport is recommended for classic pickups, collector trucks, or high-value modifications.
Carriers are limited, so scheduling may require more flexibility, and it may not be suitable for many full-size pickups due to height and clearance limits.
Which Option Is Right for You?
If you’re shipping a standard pickup or work truck, open transport is usually the best balance of price and speed. For classic or smaller modified trucks, enclosed auto truck transport ensures maximum protection. If your truck is too tall, wide, or lifted, enclosed transport won’t be possible, and open or flatbed carriers will be required.
| Feature | Open Carrier | Enclosed Carrier |
|---|---|---|
| Cost | Lower | Higher (+30–60%) |
| Protection | Standard | Maximum |
| Availability | Very High | Limited |
| Best For | Pickups, Duallys, Heavy-Duty, Oversized | Classic, Collector, Smaller Modified Trucks |

Frequently Asked Questions About Truck Shipping
How much does it cost to ship a pickup truck?
Costs vary based on size, distance, and carrier type. A standard pickup shipped on an open carrier usually ranges between $0.45–$0.85 per mile. Longer routes lower the per-mile cost.
What’s the best way to transport a heavy-duty truck nationwide?
For most heavy-duty trucks, an open or flatbed carrier is the most reliable and cost-effective option. Enclosed transport is only possible if the truck fits within the clearance limits.
Is enclosed transport available for lifted or classic trucks?
Yes, enclosed transport offers maximum protection, but many lifted trucks won’t fit inside enclosed trailers. In that case, open or flatbed transport is required.
Are truck shipping services insured?
Yes. All carriers arranged by Navi Auto Transport are fully insured, and coverage is included in your rate.
How much more does it cost to ship a pickup truck vs a standard sedan?
On the same route, expect to pay approximately $299 more for a full-size pickup compared to a standard sedan. The difference comes down to size and trailer space — a pickup takes up more room on the carrier, which affects how many vehicles fit and what the carrier charges per slot.
What is the tallest truck you have shipped?
We have shipped a pickup truck that was 9.4 feet tall. Height is the most common limiting factor for large trucks — not weight. If your truck is lifted or has a roof rack, stack, or antenna that pushes it over standard clearance, let us know at booking. We will confirm whether open or flatbed transport is the right call for your specific configuration.
Can I ship a dually truck with a car handler?
Yes, but dual-rear-wheel trucks may need specialized carriers such as flatbeds. Standard enclosed trailers often cannot fit large dually or lifted trucks.
Do I need a flatbed for commercial truck shipping?
Not always. Many commercial trucks can be shipped on standard open carriers. Oversized units or non-operational trucks typically require a flatbed.
How long does it take to ship a truck across the country?
Cross-country truck shipments usually take 7 to 10 days. Shorter routes can be delivered in two to five days, depending on distance and scheduling.
Do lifted trucks or trucks with aftermarket accessories cause loading issues?
Not typically — but you must disclose modifications when you book. Running boards, roll bars, oversized tires, and lift kits don’t add cost on their own, but they do determine which carrier we assign. Some carriers run smaller trailers that can’t safely accommodate a lifted or wide-body truck. When we know upfront, we match you with a carrier that has the right equipment. The problem only happens when customers don’t mention it and we send the wrong carrier.
Can a truck ship with a toolbox, bed liner, or tonneau cover installed?
Yes — bed liners and tonneau covers can stay on. But the bed itself must be completely empty. No personal items, tools, equipment, or cargo in the bed. The carrier’s insurance covers the vehicle only, not anything stored in it. If the bed isn’t empty at pickup, the driver can refuse the load.
