Generally, open carrier transport is the most cost-effective option. Being flexible with pickup and delivery dates, and shipping during the off-season (winter), can also help reduce costs. Terminal-to-terminal shipping (where you drop off/pick up at a hub) can sometimes be cheaper than door-to-door.
For distances of 1,500 miles or more, expect delivery to take approximately 7 to 14 days. This timeframe can vary due to factors like weather, traffic, road closures, and the carrier's route (which often involves multiple pickups and drop-offs).
