Quote Shopify delivery by road miles, load weight, and truck trips.
Standard Shopify local delivery charges one flat zone fee whether a customer buys 2 yards of bark mulch or 14 tons of crushed stone that takes three round trips. AxleMile prices every truckload accurately at checkout and builds your morning driver route sheet.
- Automatic multi-trip splitting: When cart weight or cubic yardage exceeds one truck's legal capacity, checkout bills 2 or 3 runs times road mileage automatically.
- Works on every Shopify plan: Native CarrierService rates inside Shopify Checkout, plus an embeddable cart calculator for Basic stores without Carrier-Calculated Shipping.
- Done-for-you store setup: Send us your yard address, truck capacities, and mileage tariff. We configure, test, and verify AxleMile on your Shopify store within 24 hours.
A flat $85 Shopify local delivery rule undercharges this 3-trip haul by $268.25.
Why flat-zone Shopify delivery bleeds margin on heavy orders
Compare what happens on a real 15-mile delivery from your yard using a 16,000 lb single-axle dump truck ($75 base + $4.50/mi after 5 included miles).
| Customer Cart | Total Load | Required Runs | Default Shopify Zone Fee | AxleMile Checkout Quote | Margin Protected |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4 yd³ Hemlock Mulch | 2,800 lbs | 1 trip | $85.00 | $120.00 | +$35.00 |
| 7 yd³ Screened Topsoil | 14,700 lbs | 1 trip (92% load) | $85.00 | $120.00 | +$35.00 |
| 12 yd³ 3/4" Crushed Stone | 31,200 lbs | 2 trips | $85.00 | $240.00 | +$155.00 |
| 18 yd³ Driveway Gravel | 46,800 lbs | 3 trips | $85.00 | $360.00 | +$275.00 |
From paid Shopify order to sequenced driver manifest
Generic route apps assume every order fits in a sprinter van alongside 40 parcels. Heavy goods work differently: your truck leaves the yard near axle capacity, dumps or unloads with a Moffett, and returns to the yard loader before its second run.
AxleMile evaluates road distance, cart weight, and cubic yardage against each truck in your fleet before the customer pays.
A 31,200 lb stone order automatically enters tomorrow's dispatch board as Load 1 of 2 and Load 2 of 2 with yard reload time factored in.
Group partial loads going in the same corridor onto one truck without exceeding legal payload or bed volume, then print or send the driver sheet.

Landscape & Stone Yards
Default Shopify Local Delivery charges one flat radius fee whether the customer orders 2 yards of bark mulch or 14 tons of crushed limestone that takes three round trips.
Lumber & Building Supply
Contractors ordering 5 pallets of 80-lb concrete mix plus treated deck lumber routinely exceed single flatbed axle weight, turning a $125 flat jobsite fee into a money-losing two-run haul.
Furniture & Appliances
Whole-home furniture or multi-appliance orders fill a box truck by cube long before hitting weight limits, while rural deliveries 35 miles out burn 90 minutes of two-person crew labor.
Farm, Feed & Wood Pellets
Customers ordering 4 to 6 tons of winter wood pellets or livestock feed at once exceed 3-pallet trailer limits, forcing staff to call back and collect second-trip fees manually.
