Standard Shipment Estimate

Standard Shipment Estimate

Use this tool for standard GTA parcel, skid, pallet, and direct-drive requests. The estimate is calculated privately, then dispatch confirms final pricing before any job is accepted.

What this tool is for

Standard shipments with clear pickup, delivery, timing, size, weight, and access details.

  • Small parcel and business courier moves
  • GTA skid and pallet deliveries
  • Simple direct-drive requests
  • Tailgate, residential, inside, and appointment add-ons

How the standard estimate works

The calculator is designed for standard shipments where the item count, weight, dimensions, distance and access requirements are known. It provides a working estimate, then dispatch confirms final pricing before the job is accepted.

What can be estimated

Standard small parcel moves, GTA skid and pallet deliveries, basic direct-drive requests, residential delivery add-ons, tailgate service, appointment delivery and inside/gate delivery can usually be classified by the tool.

What needs review

Oversized or overweight freight, missing distance, hand-bombing, after-hours requests, multiple unusual access conditions, long-distance routes and unclear shipment details require dispatch review instead of automatic pricing.

Final confirmation

Estimates are not confirmed bookings. Dispatch reviews pickup and delivery addresses, timing, access, vehicle availability, fuel, HST and handling needs before confirming the final quote.

Shipment details

This is not an automatic booking. It helps classify whether the shipment is standard or needs dispatch review.

If the distance is unknown, leave it blank and dispatch will confirm. The calculator may mark the request as dispatch review required.

Shipment items

Add each pallet, skid, box, or item if sizes or weights are different.

Final pricing is subject to dispatch review, HST, route availability, freight details, and access conditions.

Proof of delivery can be requested before booking.

Dragonfly can capture delivery confirmation details such as delivery timestamp, receiver name, delivery notes and photo confirmation where applicable. Final POD handling depends on shipment type, access, receiver availability and dispatch instructions.

How the Estimate Calculator Works

Enter your route details, freight type, and load specifications to get an instant estimate. The calculator uses our standard rate structure to generate a ballpark figure — final confirmed pricing is issued by dispatch after reviewing your full shipment details including access conditions and equipment requirements.
