Delivery Price Calculations
- $250 minimum delivery charge which includes most of Newport. (Includes unloading and instruction time)
- $140/hr for deliveries outside of the Newport area. Total price is calculated in the proposal process quote. We include time for driving the truck and trailer both directions, drop off, unloading, instructions and pickup. You can estimate the hours by using google maps to see how long it would take our driver to get to your location, The time will be slower however for a truck and trailer, therefore you should multiply the time by 1.5 and then double that number by 2 (roundtrip) x $140.00 (x $135.00 for all trucking that involves a trailer and power unit). This would give you a rough idea of the pricing.
We have delivered to Drakut MA and Portsmouth, NH and we have delivered to St. Johnsbury, VT and Brattleboro, VT. So give me a shot before you decide for yourself that it's not going to work out. I don't lose many rentals if I at least have the opportunity.
- It is very difficult on the "One Day Rentals" to give a big break on the delivery charge. I get asked to all the time and the fact is that typically there isn't enough money built into the delivery to make it worthwhile and then it just eats into the cost of the rental... as that needs to cover it.
- If you are flexible on your rental option, sometimes we can combine it with the pick-up of a piece of equipment that might be near you, saving you some cost. Running the truck and the expenses associated with it are not cheap so whenever we can do this we will. Sometimes we will strand a piece of equipment somewhere in hopes of getting another rental close-by therefore saving delivery and/or pick up expenses.
