Ironman Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 So what could I expect to pay to have my truck floated from Palmerston Ont. to North Bay Ont. It's 247 ml or = 397 km What's the going rate per Km. now in Canada?

Ironman Posted November 20, 2009 Author Share Posted November 20, 2009 I'm just looking to get a price to float my truck 247 ml I got one price - $600 cdn. Not sure if that's good. So I thought I shop around.

Rob Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 I'm just looking to get a price to float my truck 247 ml I got one price - $600 cdn. Not sure if that's good. So I thought I shop around.About $3.00 a mile is what I was quoted the last time I asked and did not take the quote. Went after the truck myself. Depending on length you may be able to catch a back haul which would reduce the price somewhat. Best bet would be to find a "hot shot" rig that is looking for a return load. Some of those guys will treat you right.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

Ironman Posted November 21, 2009 Author Share Posted November 21, 2009 Thanks RobAt $3.00 a ml. I'm thinking this guy that quoted me $600. isn't that bad a deal$3.00 X 247ml = $741 The only CATCH to the $600 deal is he will haul it when it is convenient for him, possibly Spring time.Which is fine. Free storage for the winter Quote GLENNGRANDKIDS :Gods little gift to us for not killing our kids while they were growing upAll I want, is just to be luv'd and for my Check Engine light to go out on my Volvo.

VT Mack Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 Try uship.com people can bid on your shipment and the prices are reasonable. This is how I found a person to haul my Harley from FLA. to VT.

vanscottbuilders Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 We have been figuring about $2.50/mile for each mile required, both ways. Plus the cost of any permits, tolls etc.If our truck is loaded each way, that obviously reduces the cost to each shipper, like Rob has said earlier.Be particularly careful to give the trucker correct height, width and weight information.$600.00 for a 247 mile move does not sound bad, at least in the US. Hauling at the trucker's convenience is a bit of a risky proposition, however, as people do tend to forget these things!Good luck!Paul Van Scott Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/11477-what-are-the-going-rates/#findComment-44188 Share on other sites More sharing options...
