Before you request a rate
Portland and Seattle are separate quotes. Enter the actual destination city, and use the true origin if the freight starts in the Bay Area or Central Valley.
Available to quote: reefer full truckload, dry van full truckload and LTL. Rates and timing depend on your shipment and date.
Different origin or destination? We quote any lane in the lower 48 the same way; enter both cities on the form.
Typical transit, as a planning range only
The figures below are typical estimates based on mileage and driver hours-of-service limits, not QuoteTheLoad promises. Hours-of-service limits, loading time, appointments and weather shape the real schedule; see how we present transit ranges. If you have a required delivery date, put it in the notes and we will tell you whether it looks realistic.
Route miles from Los Angeles are about 970 to Portland and about 1,150 to Seattle. Typical transit, based on mileage and driver hours-of-service limits, is about two days to Portland and about two to three days to Seattle for a solo full truckload, with loading time and appointments still to be added. LTL usually takes longer.
Two cities, two quotes
Portland and Seattle are not interchangeable. Enter the actual destination city or ZIP, including nearby warehouse cities when that is where the dock is. The same is true at origin: an Inland Empire or Bay Area pickup is not a Los Angeles pickup. If the freight is actually starting in the Bay Area and heading north, use the true origin on the form; our Bay Area page is the better context page in that case.
We quote dry van, reefer, and LTL on this corridor: grocery, produce, beverages, packaging, and general freight. Reefer requests should include a set point. Grocery and retail receivers may require appointments.
