Hi all,

I need a 7130 4WD transported 675 miles to my residence. What is an appropriate quote? So far the lowest I have gotten is $2.67 per mile. I was thinking $2 max...

What do you advise??
 

$2.67 a mile is on the cheap side, most truckers get $3 to $4.00 a loaded mile. Plus some charge for dead head miles to pickup point.
 
Ahhhh hahhhahhhah , two bucks a mile went out the window in the last century for a reg load of freight , A tractor of that size will fall into OVERSIZED . Over size requires PERMITS , permits cost money , take long to haul . anything you put on a trailer that is over eight foot six inches is OVER SIZE and you will have to dig deep into your piggy bank . The person quoting the 2.67 a mile would be the last one i would have haul in . He has no idea of what he is hauling or he has no insurance and is going to haul it OUTLAW style . All fine a good if he does not get stopped . He gets stopped your tractor could end up IMPOUNDED along with his truck and trailer . This is not the old days when cops and DOT turn a blind eye to a wide piece of ag equipment and th days of hauling up to 10 foot 6 inches wide ag is long gone . At best the trucker can get yearly permits in some places BUT guess what ya still have to BUY them . States NEED MONEY And easy pickings is off the farmers and truck drivers . I even carried two BLANKET Ag permits for 10.6 inches wide . even with a one ton and a goose neck back then i charged 200 for the First 100 miles and 2 bucks a mile after that on a normal inside the rail load . Think you can do it for less then jump on into the game .
 
Can you drive it home? Rent a car trailer or tow dolly, one day to drive to tractor, three days to drive it home towing your car back. Add 10 to 20 percent more miles to stay on back roads. You could probably do it for less than $2 per mile including motels and meals, $3 per mile if you price your drive time labor at around $10 per hour. Myself, I would pay someone to haul it.
 

That would be an interesting ride.
I once drove an 8n 45 miles. Worn out steering kept me moving at about 10 mph. I ran over a large german shepard. It didn't see that big tire coming. I kept going because of the other two big dogs. The owner chased me down threatening a lawsuit. I felt bad but not responsible.
Hire a trucker. Cost of moving is a tax deduction if your able to claim it.
 
Just got a hard quote from a company I know and can trust for 3.12$ a mile . They got themselves the job
 
Depends on the state you're hauling in. I believe Illinois allows 15 or 16 feet without permits as long as it's ag equipment. Nebraska allows some extra width as well.

Maybe for field to field for the farmer.
Bet not when hauling it on a road licensed vehicle.
Or trying to drive it home over a certain distance.
