Ask HN: In need of a 48'-53' truck this Friday
It's a long story, but our startup needs to get a large truck to deliver ~18 pallets of stuff from a warehouse in Napa to San Francisco.
Has anyone had experience with this and can offer guidance? Or has a truck?
Thank you!
- jesusmichael 12y agoFYI a 48'-53' truck is a Semi... and will require a class A license to operate. So renting it is out of the question. If you have a solid truckload 18 pallets is about a truckload... and the driver doesn't have to load the trailer. You can call just about any trucking company and negotiate a rate or check out iship.com. If the pallets aren't ready for prime time, meaning they can't just be loaded from a dock. You'll need a mover, or you could palletize the stuff and then call a trucking company. They usually charge by the mile, $10-$18 per mile is pretty reasonable, but probably be more. You can get a flat fee off iship.com but not all drivers there are professionals and carry the proper insurance. Hope that helps..
