Transit time expectations, what causes delays and how pickup windows really work.
There is the pickup window — the days between booking and a truck actually arriving — and the transit time once the car is loaded. Most delays people complain about happen in the first window, not on the road.
Standard booking gets you a one to five business day window. Expedited service narrows that to 24 to 48 hours for an added fee. Popular metro-to-metro lanes fill faster than rural pickups; a Coral Springs address is easy to cover.
Carriers legally average around 400 to 500 miles per day once hours-of-service rules, loading stops and mandatory rest are accounted for. Divide your route mileage by 450 for a sound estimate, then add a day for multi-stop loads.
Weather, mechanical breakdowns, DOT inspections, and customers who are unreachable at delivery. The last one is the most common and the most preventable — answer the driver's calls.
