If it's not over-width, expect to pay $2.25 a mile for an interstate tow. That's just about what everyone is quoting. You may find cheaper, but there's always a catch- like no 9or bogus) insurance. Also, if the guy shows up and doesn't have a company name and DOT number on the door of his truck, pass.

I'd like to thank you, the timeing of this thread could not come at a better time. I am looking at a boat in CA and need to get estimates of the cost of hauling from there to basically Chicago.
Also what can I expect from the hauler? I believe that the trailer is in like new conduition but not 100%. Also do you know about having it flat bedded?
Thank you for any information,

i can help. getting a trailer fresh bearings and brakes is often much less expensive than flatbedding vs on hook tow. i transport all 48 nation wide. please check my ad in classifieds under "marine services" my service is "Tug-Boat" marine transport. i am well insured, have an ecxellent reputation, and charge average rates. you could easily pay 4 dollars per mile on the flatbed. call me if you wish 847.809.7110 i will be happy to answer any of your questions. or go to www.tugmyboat.com there is a quote page there too!!

yes ps, beware of cut rate haulers, no end of nightmarish stories i hear about these guys, no insurance , no driver license, paid a deposit and cant find them. especially on u-ship. lots of stolen deposits for transport. boats left roadside or at scale house impounds! i personally got 6 transports last year picking up boats from DOT scale house impounds because the fly by night operators got busted or broke down roadside and had no credentials.
