1028 shipping from spring branch texas to lansing mi

Need to find transportation for a M1028 from Spring Branch Texas to around Lansing Michigan . Tried U ship twice , had a hauler for $900 but they wouldn't return any messages. Guess they backed out. Any help here? Thanks

Expect the rates for that type of haul with a dead head return trip to be around $3000 for a vehicle that size. That is about $2.12 a loaded mile.

Fly down, and drive it back, or rent a u-haul, and trailer to tow it back.

Second that, take the time (If you have it) and enjoy the trip, Is the vehicle sound, serviced, and running good?.

If it is the one in the classifieds from Spring Branch Texas it is a non-runner .

That seems a little excessive. I've only had 1 truck shipped but that was an M1010 from ND to TX and it was $1200 and it weighed a lot more than a M1028 does.

Did you get it on GL / GP? Only reason I ask is Iron Planet has a strong partnership (like to one with Gov Planet) with veritread. IMO it is so much better than uship as we have to actually upload our insurance documents and operating authority unlike uship that allows anyone to be a carrier.
