It is usually handled as a direct truck move, not a terminal-network shipment, because the distance is short enough for point-to-point regional service.

Yes — mark the pickup window as "ASAP" or "same-day" in the quote form. Same-day pickups typically require a 2-4 hour rate premium (115 mi is roughly a 1-day run so drivers need to reposition), and we'll surface carriers with equipment already in the Selinsgrove area first.
