towing boats to and from the north east
I have been in the towing business for 10 plus years, i am now branching out to help out fellow boaters as i am a die hard performance boater myself to tow boats up to 38 foot from or to the north east area. $1.50 per loaded mile meaning you only get charged for the miles your rig is being towed. im well insured and have f350 crew cab diesel truck. when your rig is with me it will get the utt most attention as i do with my own.

Im out of Grand Rapids, Mi area and probably about to branch out on my own from the RV towing biz. I too love boats and have been around them my whole life. Been driving semis for 5 years and am getting fed up with overbearing DOT regs and trucking companies F'ing quality drivers to keep a buck in their pocket.
I realize I lowballed everyone with my price earlier, and i apologize, didnt mean to, just wanted to pay for fuel for backhauls. So my prices will be about the same as everyone elses once Im on my own. While you run mostly east I run everywhere.
Maybe all the haulers can post on this thread and instead of sending very unprofessional emails telling each other to F off(like the one i got), Id much rather get along. We do this because we love what we do, that alone makes it easier to provide folks with good service..after all..theres more then two boats to be moved in the US.

6 months ago I probably would of sent you the same email, but it's a buyers market right now. It doesn't matter if it's buying a house, a car, or having a boat hauled. People are definately looking for a good deal. Of course we all want to make money, but the simple fact is the customer see's that fuel is 1/2 the cost it was last year and thinks the haul should be 1/2 as much. I have had to drop my pricing to get some hauls lately, but I would rather make a little less than make nothing at all.
