This is a question for those of you who haul for a living. My Mother just sold her '56 Bel Air on ebay and I am going to transport it for her. My question is what is a fair rate to haul this car from Salt Lake City Utah to newport Beach California which is about 720 miles distance?

 

This may not apply but my father won a 1976 Chrysler Imperial Lebaron (very large car) on EBAY. We live in NY and the car was near Seattle. I think he paid $1300 shipping. Another way to figure it would be maybe about $1.00-$1.50 per loaded mile. That is what I am seeing alot for delivering tractors (small farm tractors)
Just thought I'd throw that out.

Thanks, I was figuring about $1.20-$1.35. But i wasn't sure

 

There large transport companies would charge $300-500 on open carrier, closed carrier would be around $750.00

 

If it's your Mother, a fair price is FREE!

yeah that sounds about right to me...

 

I doubt he is charging his mother. I'm sure the buyer is footing the bill. At least I hope so.

 

the buyer is footing the bill. I would never charge my mother for anything.

 

charge him $1.50 per mile then broker the load to another carrier @ 300-400 dollars save the miles and make the money. Work smarter not harder.
