However, this does end up defaulting to that option, even though the vast majority of our customers are not local. I assume that there isn't a way to get this to default to the lowest rate that isn't zero, or is there? No, there is no option to do that, the shipping which will be automatically selected will always be the first one on your shipping ordering. To do what you want, you'll probable have to directly add some code customization.

That did the trick, just not making that option first in the sort order.

When I had the free shipping option first in the sort order, it was being selected. I moved it to last in the order and it was no longer the default selection.
