The route
A short interstate haul: 108 miles, about 2 hours of driving.

That means a tight delivery date and far less handling.

Rules that apply to this move

See binding vs non-binding estimates and valuation explained.
Before you book Fayetteville to Springfield
Ask whether it is hourly or flat
At 108 miles some carriers still quote hourly plus mileage rather than by weight. Get both numbers so you can compare like with like — hourly can win on a short haul with easy access at both ends.
Confirm it is a one-day run
Most carriers cover this distance in a single day, which avoids an overnight charge and a second crew. If a quote assumes two days, ask why.
