How much to Charge towing???

[senatordan39]

I have an opportunity to bring a shipment of stuff for BJ's Brewery from So Cal to Houston. I used to help them do the installs for the new resteraunts. How much should I charge them to load everything up in So Cal and deliver to Houston, I will tow the trailer back empty. Any ideas? Thanks in advance

$2.50-$3.00 per loaded mile.

I spoke with three guys that haul travel trailers (from manufacturer to dealer lot) and they mentioned a range of $1.00 - $1.80. Am I missing something? They use their trucks and the per mile rate is all inclusive (fuel, time, etc.).

Well, I told them $3500 to have it delivered by Saturday and they had no problem, then I got a call back and they decided to pay $4500 but have it flown and delivered thursday afternoon instead for more time to set up. Oh well thanks for the help
