Can anyone haul M1009 MD to CT?

I am wondering if there is anyone that would be able to haul a M1009 from Ft. Meade MD to Canton, CT zip 06019. If so, what would the cost be? The trip is about 340 miles one-way. Thanks.
 
If I lived a little closer I would be happy to do it for about $200 plus fuel. However, my closest house to Ft. Meade is the one in Alabama, and it is 736 miles away. If you have a pickup truck, or access to one, have you thought about buying or renting a tow dolly. I bought one a few years ago for $650, and it has towed all 6 of my CUCVs home for me, including one that had the shop-van box on the back with generator and air compressor on board. The tow dolly I have is made by Steil, and was about $1700 brand new. The M1008 front hubs clear the inside of the fender wells on it by about an inch on each side. This setup is a lot less weight to haul than a typical car-hauling trailer, and it does not require a registration tag either, so all-in-all, it is a great setup. I have a 2006 Chevy 2500HD with a Duramax 6.6L diesel and the Allison T1000 transmission with transgo shift kit I installed about a year ago. The whole setup is perfect for towing CUCVs at about 70-80 MPH and still getting 13 MPG.
I know this doesn't help you get your CUCV home, but if you get addicted like most of us have, gaining the ability to recover your MV on your own is a must.

You are welcome to store it at my house if you need time to arrange shipping after your EUC clears. I'm 50 miles from Ft. Meade.

I'm in the same boat as him, my shop is about 15min from Ft. Meade, I can pick it up and/or hold it till you get a shipper. I have another members truck that needs to go to Ny so you might want to get with him and see if you can split the bill.
