need someone with a trailer to tow a CTD - Raleigh, NC to Norfolk, VA

In order to get my truck back on the road, I have to get my truck from Raleigh, NC to Norfolk, VA either on Friday, March 4th, or Saturday, March 5th (morning)..

Truck will be dead weight, (no transmission installed), though I *might* be able to make a winch mounting plate to slide into the receiver on the front of the bumper, if needed.

My friend's gooseneck trailer got delayed in the build process, so it won't be ready in time.

Lemme know if you might be able to help... Obviously, I will pay fuel and such...

Those who haul pro... it's 180 miles... what would YOU charge?

Why don't you just rent a U-Haul car hauler (not dolly)? I've used them a couple of times to tow a fairly heavy vehicle ('63 IH Scout) 200-300 miles. I had no complaints.

My truck has too long a wheelbase, and weighs about double the capacity of the trailer... Thanks though.

Biggest trailer uhaul has is rated at 6500 lbs. Been there done that. I had to rent one from united rentals that was rated at 10,000 lbs. I had the front wheels against the front of the trailer and the back wheels were barely on the back and hanging over. Luckily it wasn't an extended cab or it wouldn't have fit.
