What is the Cost of Shipping and Moving a Container in Minnesota?

The cost of transporting a container in Minnesota ranges between $2.95 and $3.10 per mile. However, it varies from shipment to shipment depending on the size, mode of transport, distance, season, and fuel costs. For example, Minnesota is one of the states where snow and that influence the cost of transport. During winter, drivers find it hard to come by, and the insurance cost increases due to the high rate of accidents. That increases the overall cost, and it might take us longer to dispatch your shipment because we have to evaluate the road conditions.
