Shipping a container in Virginia costs about $2.95 and $3.10 per mile. That’s just an estimate and varies from shipment to shipment depending on the distance between pick-up and drop-off locations, weight, size, mode of transport, whether permits are required, and if you need loading and unloading assistance. Transporting overweight containers costs more because we have to acquire the necessary permits. In addition, moving a container in Virginia during winter costs more due to the challenges we experience. Snow makes maneuvering hard, and slippery surfaces increase the chances of accidents.

Shipping a container takes more than just loading it on a trailer. You must plan the route to use in advance to ensure it’s delivered on time. Here are some highways we use to and from Virginia: Interstate 95 (I-95), Interstate 64 (I-64), Interstate 81 (I-81), U.S. Route 1 (US-1), U.S. Route 29 (US-29), and U.S. Route 50 (US-50).
Moving containers requires the best trailers that can handle heavy or wide loads. The choice of a suitable trailer depends on the container size, 20 feet or 40 feet, and weight. Our container transport company has numerous types of trailers that handle oversized, heavy, or wide containers. Our logistic agents can recommend lightweight and high-strength chassis trailers because of their outstanding maneuverability, flexibility, and ability to carry 20-foot, 40-foot, and extended containers. We also use flatbed trailers that have adequate strength for container hauling. Another trailer option to hire is the Gooseneck, which can carry light to heavy containers.
Loading a container on a trailer or truck requires specialized equipment or tools. Shipping container movers first ensure the container is in perfect condition, free from damages, holes, or issues that can damage the things inside. Next, the shipping specialists moving the containers ensure the trailer is parked in the best position for proper loading. It should have all the required tie-downs to hold the container securely for safe transportation. Our container transport company uses cargo lifters, such as top pickers, driverless AGVs, forklifts, and cranes, to lift the cargo and properly position it in the trailer for securing and transportation
