How Your Rate Actually Gets Set
Photos, pickup and delivery zip codes, or just the auction link. Text is fastest.
I pull a realistic market rate for your specific equipment and lane during business hours.
Then I work the spot market and talk to drivers directly rather than accepting a posted rate. You see the number before anything is booked.
I negotiate the truck directly
I benchmark the live market
You send the details
Most equipment transport quotes come from a rate table or an automated marketplace. Here is what happens instead.

No rate tables, no bots, no surprise accessorials after the fact.
Why Shippers Call Instead of Clicking
Same contact from quite to delivery. No ticket numbers, no call queue.
Authority, insurance, and safety history checked by Somerset's compliance team before a carrier touches your equipment.
Loads move under Somerset's cargo insurance program.
You will know why the number is what it is, not just what it is.
I have been brokering and arranging freight for 20 years, and more than 16 of those have been with Somerset Logistics.
ABOUT JEFF BLACKMAN
In that time I have moved a lot of equipment out of California, which means I know which lanes run tight, which carriers show up, and what a realistic rate looks like before I ever quote you one.
You will work with me directly from the first text to the final delivery.
Somerset Logistics has been moving freight since 2000. Family-owned, veteran-owned, and debt-free, with a national carrier network and a compliance team that vets every carrier before a load is assigned.
That matters for one practical reason: when something goes sideways on a load, there is an operations team behind the person you have been texting.
Backed by a 26+ Year Brokerage
Rates depend on equipment size and weight, pickup and delivery locations, and current market conditions. Because spot market rates move daily, a real quote requires your specific details. Send photos and zip codes and you'll get a realistic number back, usually the same business day.
Transit time depends on distance and carrier availability. Most standard legal-dimension loads out of California are picked up within a few days of booking. You'll get a realistic timeline with your quote rather than an estimate that slips.
This service covers standard, legal-dimension transport. Oversized loads requiring state permits involve different routing, escorts, and permitting, and we can refer you to the right resource.
Loads move under Somerset Logistics' cargo insurance program, and carriers are verified for active authority and insurance before being assigned.
Equipment type, pickup and delivery zip codes, and photos if you have them. An auction listing link works too. The more specific the details, the more accurate the rate.
