I am assuming that steel buildings ship on a truck. Most logically a 43 foot flatbed. What if it's more than one truckload? It will be a big building. Howmuch do they charge?

Charges on steel buildings vary to get them delivered. 1.) A few have their own trucks. 2.) Most use common carriers-it is a function of weight capacity to how much steel a flatbed can carry but it is a function of mileage as to the charges to deliver it to you. More than one truck what be multiple mileage charges i.e. two trucks is two times the miles. The further you are from the factory the more the delivery charge. 3.) You can pick it up yourself at the factory. This would probably be the most economical.
