Cost of Freight

ALL FARES ARE ROUND-TRIP

Freight is $6 per ton ($3.00 for half ton, $1.50 for quarter ton, etc.)

If you are carrying weight you must have a weight slip

Maximum Gross Vehicle Weight Limits on Ferry

Small trucks may not be loaded beyond the allowed gross vehicle weight as shown on the vehicle’s registration.

Machines carried on a trailer, such as a Bobcat skid steer, must be unloaded from the trailer. They will ride the ferry on their own wheels or treads.

Trucks pulling trailers shall not carry a load. This gives the trailer hitch and tongue clearance above the deck when loading.

Maximum gross weight limit for truck with a single rear axle is 30,000 lbs.

Maximum gross weight limit for truck with a tandem rear axle is 35,000 lbs.

Maximum gross weight limit for Tractor / Trailer is 40,000 lbs.

WITHOUT EXCEPTION, you must have a weight slip for freight, fuel (propane or oil), lumber, dirt, gravel, concrete castings, etc. The Coast Guard insists that we know the weights that we carry. You can be weighed at these places:
