Cerrax in the United States

Currency: USD
Distance quoted in: miles

A third-floor walk-up in Chicago's Lincoln Park moving up I-94 to Milwaukee: a box truck, a crew of three, no elevator, and a parking permit to hold the curb on a busy street. Cerrax prices it from the cube in cubic feet, the interstate miles and the time three flights of stairs add — the crew's hours line by line.

The vehicles it plans with here:

Cargo van (246 cu ft)
15-ft box truck (764 cu ft)
20-ft box truck (1,016 cu ft)
26-ft box truck (1,682 cu ft)
