Ida; I whole heartedly agree with you on the assistance factor of helping out a fellow member, especially knowing that I will most likely be in need of assistance in this or a similar manner. My rates for transport vary dependent upon what I am hauling and where due to many factor, including dead head (ie: how far will I have to go empty to pick it up or to get to my next load) and the rate that I can get to get back from a certain region... There are many many factors involved in the cost of freight that I don't think this is the place to get into.... I already discount for members here and if I know that I am going somewhere empty and have the time to make a stop or two I may post that emptiness for everyone here to see because I would rather give an even deeper discount to help someone here out than to take cheap freight from a broker! All of this is why I decided to ask for all of your opinions as to what you feel would be reasonable cost for said service as opposed to charging you my "Minimum" or an Hourly or whatever that would quickly become $500 or better just to get it off post when I am willing to haul a truck from San Antonio to Houston for the same $500 (with flexible schedule).

I just realized that some of this may sound inflamatory, Please don't take it that way as that is not how it is intended, just further explanation of my intention behind the post...

Thanks for all of you input and I hope I'm not opening a bad can of worms...
