1. Distance and Route
Per-Mile Rates
Longer trips often have lower per-mile rates, but the total cost is higher.

Transporting through rural areas may cost more due to limited carriers servicing those locations.
Tolls and Road Fees
Some routes may have additional toll costs, particularly near major highways.

Fuel Costs
Fluctuating fuel prices directly impact transport costs.
Seasonal Demand
Higher costs in peak travel seasons (spring and summer) due to increased demand.
