How Much Does Rail Container Delivery Cost in Portland–Vancouver?

Truck hauling a container on I-5 in the rain

Most trucking companies won't tell you a price until you call. We post our standard round-trip rates so you can budget before you pick up the phone. Here's what goes into a container delivery price, and what we charge on our most common routes.

What affects the price

  • Distance. The biggest factor. A Salem round trip takes a few hours, and Medford takes most of a day.
  • Route conditions. Mountain passes, winter weather and heavy traffic around Tacoma and Seattle all add time.
  • Time at the terminal and your dock. Long lines at the terminal, or a long wait to unload, can add up.
  • Container size and weight. Heavy loads need the right equipment and must stay within legal weight limits.
  • Where the empty container goes. If it must go somewhere other than where it was picked up, the trip gets longer.
