Off the top of my head, that is a roughly 1,100-1,200 mi trip though. Even if someone took your stuff for $1.00 per mile on a 'gratis' basis, you pay the brokerage fee for the O/O, and you pay the O/O in cash on the spot (you're going to have to entice someone to take a deal like this), you'll be looking at spending more than you would on renting a U-haul truck with a trailer to haul your personal vehicle behind it, just as 550hp said.
Might even be worth calling a moving company and pricing them out - you might do better for yourself.
Good luck in the future, no matter which way you get your stuff back west. -

Just wondering. Like I said you're new to me but I haven't been around for a bit either.

A uhaul is $2500 dollars plus fuel to haul it in a 26' truck from Orlando to Keller, Tx. This is why I am asking an owner operator. I would be willing to pay $.90-1.00 a mile to haul it. I would rather help an O/O then rent a uhaul anyways.

I'll tell you my story then you decide on to buy a International.
I bought a 2007 international tractor, with a 18 spd cummins 475.
between May of 2007 and July 2008 I have been in and out of the shop.
I have 33 repair orders 52 problems.
In July 23 2008 my tractor burnt down, I had an investigation done they found a electrical problem that had started in the glove box.
The whole thing is I brought the truck to the dealer a week b4 because of engine light came on.
I was told stop worrying about the little things and drive the gd dmn thing, A week and half later up in smoke.
Now i have had a grinder and a loader repoed because I can't make payments on i'm about to go file bankrupt, I tried to call Navistar told them whats going on they tell me send paperwork, I did and they are still stalling, called bbb told me to seek legal action can't help me.
hope this helps -
I've never sued anyone in my life, but it sounds like you have a Case, not a John Deere. (bad old joke) Call a LAWYER.

I have been up last nght looking on the web sites about fires with International,
found quite a few.
Then i found a web site that states International recalls 51,000prostar trucks due to fire,
Go figure.
They have a number to call trying, still have to get the family organize to get in laws.
I just wanted to say thanks MarkVhl.
P.S I thought the joke was funny.
If you can't laugh at tought situations then your gonna grow old fast.
