    Wow. I had no idea that the broker fee was that sizable.

    No one ever knows what the broker makes but he may or may not be correct.

    That is probably a $1800.00+ run. I'll am curious for what it actually move$ for!

    I'm getting quotes, mostly hovering around $2000 or so.
    You can't ship vehicles in a PODS.

    Fortunately, most of the tolls can be avoided or you would be looking at 2600.00+.

    What? The states screw truck drivers that badly on tolls?

    Reading this board gives me so much more respect and understanding of how tough it is to be a trucker.

    I had no idea.
