Lake County Nursery
Shipping costs
The following are estimated average shipping charges for a truck load of
nursery stock
from Lake County Nursery to the listed city. For trucks with more than one stop all stops
must add a $50.00 drop charge. These costs are based on projected
2000 trucking costs and are subject to change. Freight rates vary by
trucking firm used. On average freight costs run 7-15% of plant material cost. This just
depends on the size, mix and cost of the plant material making up the load. Call if you
need a firm quote.A note about 2000 trucking costs. As I update this page fuel prices
are going up every day. Trucking companies are adding surcharges to their loads to adjust
for higher than expected fuel costs. A surcharge chart is listed below and may be used
based on the cost of fuel. The low rate shown for each city is based on a 48' van and the
high rate is a 48' flat bed. |

| For example if fuel costs are $1.20 a gallon and the load cost
$500.00 to deliver then a 1% surcharge will be added to your freight bill. This would be
an additional $5.00. |
