Funny how that has continued to spiral up while the cost of fuel has dropped so much. Wonder why that is? I was getting quotes from $1-$1.50 per loaded mile back when the gas was hovering around $2.25 and then saw it go up to $2 per mile when the gas climbed close to $3. Now gas is just over $2 here and the hauling is still high. To answer the original question, though, a lot of truckers are going to want a minimum for short runs. I just paid a guy $300 for a short run for a tractor that ran around 5 ton. Had some trouble off loading, engine stopped abruptly and would not turn over again (groan). He ran home and came back with a huge front loader and put the tractor where I wanted it. I figured it wasn't a bad price considering all he had to do to get me off his trailer. I'd hate to get into fuel costs on that big loader.
