Shipping a tractor

[Hay Dude]

I got a quote for $600 for a 13’ dump truck bed shipped 300 miles, but that was a partial load. Didn’t seem like it was worth driving 600 miles round trip, tolls, fuel & time. $600 is nothing for all that.
Shipping costs are so high right now.
Was looking at a tractor in Wisconsin the week (800 miles) and the quote was $3,500.
15 years ago, I shipped a New Holland backhoe from CA to PA (3,000 miles) for $3,500.

I paid $2300 for shipping on a 11k machine from Iowa to southeastern VA summer 2022.

There is no way today with fuel costs what they are, that 2 bucks a mile would cover expenses unless it was al LTL shipment. Of course there are people out there who like to go broke.
