I'm wanting to have 2 34" Cast wheel hubs hauled from Minn. to Fla. What should be a fair cost to have them hauled by a truck already going that way???

I'm in central Ohio
I had a complete wide front for a Farmall, tires & all delivered from Las Vegas for 150 I had to pick it up at the air port in Columbus The co. that did it was Forward Air. They told me if you put it on a pallet & deliver it to the air port they can move big parts a lot cheaper than any truck. I also just shipped a complete set of rear steel wheels for a A JD to New Mexico for 160 The trucking co was R & L Carriers

I know freight is a bugger, but operating a truck is VERY expensive, especially with fuel over $2/gallon. Very few independant truckers are making much unless they work about 70 hours/week. (Maybe not even then.) Glenn F.

Best I have done, on a pallet for stuff like that, that distance, is in the $400 range. It works out that its about the same cost as if I put them in the back of my truck and took them myself, less the cost of my time.

LTL freight (less than load ) sometimes costs more but since you are talking over13-1500 miles expect to pay at least 4-600 .00 fuel and insurance is not cheap and this rate is still around .50 per mile cheap if you ask me. call yellow frieght or ABF and get a quote from them it will blow your mind.
