    Would definitely need to compensate for the tarp/s that its potentially going to destroy.

    I did a test rig for John Deer,.. a little larger then that but had just as many sharp edges to shred my tarps. Needed an 8ft drop and a smaller 4ft drop to cover the control panel. I was paid $2600 to go 430 mi.

    I did my best to cover the points that I thought would rip into my tarp. I used a combination of cargo blankets, edge protectors and rubber pads I cut from old tires. It still ate my tarp.

    Mim. 1000.00 Will be an all day affair maybe more. If you can get more do it, but to me a 5 axle ld. short miles makes a long day

    Exactly,.. 150 - 300 miles,.. its still an all day load that most likely wont be delivered till the next day. And loads like that typically require some finesse while loading, securing and tarping. They need to compensate for the extra effort involved.

    Min $1000.

    I took a load of salt on pallets 180 mi to Long Island, NY. Originally paid $1000,.. I got them to up it to $1200 for tolls and for my stress driving in NY.

    was a 10 mile bounce from my unload. The load was declined since the shipper didnt have any of the electronics sealed inside plastic and they didnt want to. Plus it was bound to rip my tarps to ####. Company was hauling it for 659, I wouldve gotten 188 plus 20 for tarping....kinda glad they cancelled this one

    I would figure your rate and then add about $350.00 for a new tarp. I'm guessing like Carl said $1000.00 (and hope he says it's too much)
