Default Moving boat and trailer-Chicago to West Palm Beach

I am considering buying a 26' Formula on a double axle trailer in Chicago.

The deal hinges on how much it will cost to move this boat to West Palm Beach.

Any ideas?

You guys got that right! Hell, I'd be happy to haul for 1.50 per mi all day long! Over that seems to be a pipe dream and I do things right! The illegal drivers are killing us guys that spend thousands to be legal....truck maint, weigh stations, permits, extensions...they just drive right along with no regard to safety, the LAW or what it does to an industry. It's getting old REAL quick. As for UShip...what a complete bunch of idiots. They don't enforce their own rules about a trucker having to be legal to be on their site. I fight the illegals day and night, get flagged left and right because I tell people I am legal and the others bidding aren't. Way to time consuming and stressful. Thinking of selling the rig and going back to being a captain. Good old USA...if it's illegal....its profitable...or they protect the illegals . Its so amazing that the public doesn't care...they just want cheap. Wait till cheap kills someone...naw..they still wont care. You all take care.

OK..so it looks like legitimate...insured transporters will charge 41.50/loaded mile on a one way haul.

Thanks for the info...now looking for a potential one way...Detroit to West Palm Beach.
