Need m1078 hauled from GA to San diego CA

[Duckworthe]

Anyone make a normal haul from GA to San Diego Ca? Need a back Haul? I just picked up my truck and drove it to my friends place. I need to find out what it would cost to haul out on flatbed or even by rail. anyone ever do this length of haul? Also I heard of a sight called "You Ship" I was told it is a sight that truckers use to get back hauls. Not sure if it works out well or not. Any insight on these options are welcome.

U Ship is an option, I've moved a couple trucks that way. Easy to set up an account and start the process. Wait for all the bids to come in, don't take the first one.

If it is drivable, there maybe an option for me to drive it out to NM if you're interested.

What was the base cost on You Ship? Do you pay the trucker directly?

It is in the shop now getting a new compressor installed. And then trying to get it registered in GA for the first go around at least as it will be way cheaper than here in CA. So i am not sure when it will be ready to hit the road.

You pay U Ship and they pay the transport company. Fee was about 4-5% of total cost. Insurance was reasonable also.

They get you coming and going.... there's a fee to you of 4-5% which seems very reasonable.

Until you find out they also stacked $200 - 300 on what the bid was. Example - trucker put in bid of $800. What I saw on my end was $1100 + $30 in fees.

It's still worth throwing it on uShip, because sometimes even with the fees it's the best deal going...

I will be making trips back and forth at the rate of about 1 per month except for the month of March.

I am transporting a SUV with trailer to ATL for a Soldier and was looking for an alternate way back.

Don't get me wrong, I don't fear flying, I just absolutely hate flying cause of all of the BS unless it is one of those private planes. Then it is step aside, I'm gotta plane to catch.
