Online transport quoting
Transport pricing is the process of determining the costs associated with transporting goods. This process involves various factors that together make up the final price of the service. It is necessary to consider not only the weight and size of the transported cargo, but also its market value. Also key in this context is the timing of the transport - from loading to unloading, current capacity, costs associated with the use of the vehicle, as well as current economic conditions and fluctuations in fuel prices. There are many aspects that translate into the final cost of transport, and the distance itself and the characteristics of the cargo are only part of them.
What do we take into account when determining the cost of a transport service?
When determining the cost of a service at our transport company, we take into account a number of important factors that affect the final quote. Given our experience in the logistics industry and the individual needs of our customers, we emphasize the following aspects:
- Weight and dimensions of the cargo: These parameters have a direct impact on the selection of the appropriate means of transport and the costs associated with operation.
- Value of the goods being transported: Depending on the value of the cargo, insurance costs and cargo security requirements may also vary.
- Timing of loading and unloading: Precise scheduling affects vehicle availability and determines the closest date for cargo transport, and loading and unloading operations.
- Vehicle operating costs: This includes not only fuel costs, but also vehicle depreciation, servicing costs and road payments (this is especially true for international transport, where charges vary depending on the route taken).
- Current economic conditions: Market fluctuations, such as changes in currency exchange rates or commodity price indices.
- Fuel price: This is one of the most volatile factors affecting transport costs, so we track current fuel prices along the entire cargo route.
- Additional services: Specialized cargo security, Cargo insurance or abnormal transport or transport of ADR materials, which requires additional permits for transit in addition to proper security.
- Route and distance: Comprehensive route planning taking into account any tolls, travel time or possible obstructions along the entire route.
Omida's approach to pricing a transport service is based on a thorough analysis of these factors and years of experience in the TSL industry. This allows us to offer our clients competitive prices while maintaining the highest quality of services.

When pricing a transport service, we also take into account factors related to cargo. At Omida, we provide a wide range of transport choices for different types of cargo, using, among others, road transport, rail transport or intermodal transport, which uses both types of transport in one transport unit. Thanks to the extensive branch of transport capabilities as we have already mentioned, the pricing of the transport service depends mainly on the weight and dimension of the cargo. Thanks to the segregation into branches, we are able to specify several types of cargo that we are able to transport:
- LTL cargo (transport of general cargo)
- FTL cargo (full truckload transport)
- Automotive cargo
- cargo from the electronics industry
- cargo from the chemical industry
And many more.
