Seems I did not successfully get my point across - or a few here are twisting things around a bit.
I'm not surprised at quotes over $1000 from many companies for normal point-to-point trips. I AM surprised with a price that high when someone claims they have an "empty 15' space" on their truck, they just happen to be in my area, and are heading to Michigan anyway. IF that story was true - adding my Subaru to their load would not result in much of an expense difference. Just about any money paid would be "gravy."
Also -when I contact someone for a quote and tell them specifically that I do not want to be contacted by phone - and then get bombarded with calls, each day since (and it's now been over a week) - they are out of line. No one will convince me otherwise.
As to "nobody" would drive that far for that price? Well, maybe not in today's world. I asked a few local guys and had no takers. My offer was food and fuel paid for, a place to stay one night, and train and bus tickets back home plus $400. So that amounts to $200 a day in their pocket. One day entails driving and one day requires riding in a train and a bus.
