Have to listen carefully in every transaction that you make in your business even if it's small don't make any loss anything that is a big profit even if it's $1 it's a profit so be careful on your prices make a calculation every time you deliver your service make sure you make a profit everyone start small day by day and improving your profit if you want more you can make a call

Your question "how to do pricing?"?
My question "what is your business model first"?
The different business model leads to different pricing approach.

Pricing is not always the easiest part of business to master. I suggest hire a business coach who specializes in the area of monetizing your business and they will be the best help to you. If you want more specific direction let me know.

Starting a trucking business can be exciting, and pricing your services right is crucial to building a successful operation. When it comes to pricing, you're right that every quote can be custom. Factors such as distance, load type, fuel costs, and the time required for delivery all play a role in determining the price.
I suggest looking into your local market rates for similar services, understanding your operating costs, and then deciding on a pricing model. You might want to consider offering flat-rate pricing for local deliveries and per-mile pricing for long hauls. Additionally, taking into account seasonal fluctuations in demand can help adjust pricing at different times of the year.
