Truck freight rates may vary depending on the products being ordered, fuel surcharges, and the shipping destination. Residential deliveries require an additional fee of $125.00 assessed by the carrier due to the additional coordination and transit outside of normal routes.

Acceptance of truck freight shipment, rate, and applicable fees is acknowledged at the time of order.

Important Shipping Information:
