66 Cents/mile to WY

[hndrsonj]

Just thought i'd post up, that deals are still out there. I caught a back haul from GA to WY for the M37. It came out right at 66 cents a mile. It'll be here right after Thanksgiving. Needless to say I am quite happy.

That's less than it cost me to run my diesel pick-up, nice job. Can the hauler bring my Oshkosh down from Idaho Motor Pool when he's done?

Tim, You and Pam are more than welcome to come out anytime, there's alot to see (even non MV stuff too).

I got a tractor hauled from KS for $1.00 a mile and I thought that was a steal. 66 cents is unheard of these days but I guess it beats the driver going home empty.

Where all did you search for your hauling rates?

U-ship

U-Ship? Is there any written contract between you and the shipper or U-Ship? Wayne

Congrats on the find.

I had a "short haul" 150 miles, that was an easy back haul for a lot of guys.

Everyone (truckers) around here are LAZY.
They would rather drive empty than back haul.
I had quotes as high as $9 a mile.

Jim, Do you still want the hubs for the disk brake conversion, or can you machine the front ones from your truck? We are supposed to get 5-8" Saturday. Nuce truck by the way. Glad you got it home!

I need 1 hub (front are already disks). I can use mine but it would be nice to be mobile. Just let me know. BTW, If you go back buy the 2 rear axle shafts; just let me know how much.

It's actually a 1962 W/W, hardtop, heater, detroit locker, highway gears, radials. I installed front disks right before we left GA. Now I am hooking up the dual M/C and getting ready to go.
