FAQ

Straight answers about job site delivery

Cost, equipment, timing, and insurance — the questions Houston contractors ask us before the first load.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a job-site delivery cost?+

Pricing depends on load size, distance, trailer type, and whether you need a Moffett forklift on site. Most local Houston-area runs are quoted as a flat rate rather than by the hour so there are no surprises on your invoice. Send us pickup and delivery addresses plus a short load description and we'll give you a firm number — not a range.

What if there's no forklift at the job site?+

That's exactly what we're built for. Our semi trucks carry Moffett piggyback forklifts, so we unload ourselves and set your material where you want it — on the pad, in the yard, or up against the building line. You don't need to rent equipment or pull a crew off task to unload us.

How fast can I get a quote?+

We typically respond within 15–30 minutes during business hours, and around the clock for urgent job-site deliveries. Call dispatch at 832-488-5152 for anything urgent — someone answers 24/7.

Are you licensed and insured?+

Yes. MG Express Trucking, LLC operates under US DOT #3342879 and MC #1409122, and we carry commercial auto and cargo coverage. We can provide a certificate of insurance for your project file or send it directly to your GC before we roll.

What kinds of loads do you haul?+

Lumber, brick and block, rebar, structural steel, pipe, trusses, roofing material, jobsite trailers, skid steers and mini excavators, generators, crated equipment, and general palletized freight. If it fits on a flatbed or gooseneck and it's legal weight, we can move it.

Do you deliver after hours or on weekends?+

Yes. Dispatch runs 24/7. Night and early-morning deliveries are common for us because they beat Houston traffic and get material on site before the crew clocks in.

How much notice do you need?+

Same-day and next-morning deliveries are routine when we have a truck open. For multi-truck or oversize moves, a day or two of notice lets us line up permits and the right trailer.

Can you deliver to a plant or refinery with gate access requirements?+

Yes. Our drivers are used to badge-controlled gates, safety orientations, and check-in procedures along the Houston Ship Channel, Highway 225, and I-10 East. Tell us the site requirements when you book and we'll plan around them.
