Things to know when shipping out of CA
The cost of shipping heavy equipment keeps going up, and diesel fuel is not the only reason. Trucking companies are also paying more for insurance, and there are not enough qualified truck drivers to meet demand. These rising costs make it harder for carriers to offer lower shipping rates. Looking ahead to 2027, we hope new laws will help reward safe drivers who have clean driving records and no accidents. We also hope to see stronger rules against hiring drivers who do not have the proper licenses or legal permission to work. These changes could help keep our roads safer, protect honest trucking companies, and make shipping costs more affordable for everyone.
How Does This Affect the Customer?
Rising fuel costs, higher insurance rates, and a shortage of qualified truck drivers can affect customers in two ways: higher shipping prices and longer pickup times. While choosing the lowest quote may seem like a good way to save money, an extremely low price can leave your equipment waiting for days or even weeks. This happens because the rate may not be high enough to cover the driver’s fuel, insurance, and other operating costs. At We Will Transport It, we believe in providing fair, realistic shipping rates that attract reliable carriers and help get your heavy equipment picked up and delivered on time.
How Can You Get the Best and Fastest Heavy Equipment Shipping Quote Out of California?
The best way to get a good shipping rate is to plan ahead and request your quote at least two weeks before your pickup date. Customers should also have realistic expectations about pricing and pickup times. Trucking is a service industry, and drivers have expenses just like any other business, including diesel fuel, insurance, maintenance, and equipment costs.
While everyone wants the lowest price and fastest pickup, a cheap quote doesn’t always mean your equipment will move quickly. If the price is too low to cover a driver’s operating costs, your shipment may sit for weeks waiting for a carrier to accept it instead of being picked up within two or three days.
Being flexible with your pickup date and willing to pay a fair market rate can make a big difference. At We Will Transport It, we believe in giving customers honest pricing and realistic pickup expectations rather than promising a low rate that may never get their equipment moved.
If you go with the lower quote, your equipment will get stuck and will not move.

How Long Does It Take to Haul Oversized Equipment from California to Florida?
Oversized equipment transport from California to Florida typically takes 5 to 7 days after pickup, depending on the route, weather, and travel restrictions. Oversize load permits usually take about 1 business day to obtain, although some shipments may require additional time for approval. Planning ahead helps avoid delays and keeps your heavy equipment shipment on schedule.
California diesel prices in 2023 can be compared with historical records, but 2027 diesel prices aren't available yet, since we're still in November 2026.
Using the $4.903 per gallon figure you provided for 2023, here’s how potential 2027 prices would compare:
2027 diesel price Increase from $4.903 Percentage increase $5.00 $0.10 2.0% $5.50 $0.60 12.2% $6.00 $1.10 22.4% $6.50 $1.60 32.6%
Will they have electric trucks to haul oversize equipment in the future?
Yes. Electric trucks will likely play a role in hauling oversized and heavy equipment in the future. In fact, electric semi-trucks already exist, but they are not yet a practical replacement for diesel trucks on every heavy-haul route.
For a company like We Will Transport It, the biggest question is whether an electric truck can haul a 40,000–80,000-pound load across the country without excessive charging delays.
What Type of Trailer Is Needed to Haul Oversized Equipment from California to Florida?
The type of trailer depends on the equipment’s weight, height, width, and length. RGN (Removable Gooseneck) trailers are commonly used for tall or heavy machinery, including excavators, bulldozers, and large construction equipment. Step-deck and lowboy trailers are also used for oversized loads. Some shipments require special permits, escort vehicles, or travel restrictions depending on the route. At We Will Transport It, we help customers choose the right trailer and arrange transportation based on their equipment’s size and shipping requirements.
Here is just one example of an experience one of our customers had shipping a container from California to Florida.
Client called in to have Their oversize 2022 Ford F550 bucket truck hauled.
We Will Transport It recently arranged the transportation of a heavy-duty truck from Oakhurst, CA 93644, to South Florida, FL 33073, for a total shipping cost of $8,900.
The truck measured 23 feet long, 8 feet wide, and 11.5 feet tall, with a total weight of 19,000 pounds.
For this shipment, our carrier used a 2023 Ford F-350 XL 6.7L V8 diesel 4WD Crew Cab with a 53-foot step-deck trailer equipped with loading ramps. The ramps allowed the truck to be driven directly onto the trailer for loading.
