Rates for moving stuff

[mbrule]

Can you guys give me a general idea what the going rate for moving equipment is. What I actually need to move is a car about 150 miles from Mass to just over the New York line. What would be a typical rate to do this?

Thanks for any opinions or guidance!

Around $2 a mile. CJ

Thanks!!! I assume you mean a "loaded" mile.

That is just about what I quoted and the guy was amazed at how high I was. So I just did some simple math around fuel cost / mileage and felt like I was about right.....

Of course he thought you were high . He want's it done for nothing .

Yeah, pretty much. Ended up telling him off. The guy was a real pain in the #$%. Sold the vehicle to someone else. problem solved!

Thanks for the advice guys!

Most of the time, yes but for some people [sounds like the one you were dealing with] and depending on what I hauling they would get charged both ways. CJ
