Warehouse

What is the average cost to transport and warehouse a pallet load of frozen food. Truck distance of 1,000 mi?

I am trying to estimate costs for a product. I need refrigerated truck costs, and refrigerated warehouse costs. This is for a frozen food product. If anyone knows the approximate per mile or per truckload costs for reefer trucks, and approximate pallet storage costs for frozen food warehouses, that's what I need. PLEASE help!

1. Transportation costs are dictated by supply of trucks in the area, cost of fuel, distance, and whether the truck would have a return load or would be deadheading to the origin. Costs also vary by area of the country, if short or long haul, etc.. Typically, an estimate would be a 20% surcharge on top of regular dry van service as a general rule. Use $2 a mile and you'd be safe.
