Any Owner Operators willing to let me pick their brain?

If you'll post the question, somebody will pop along and answer it to the best of our ability, probably....maybe.....kind of....

 

Owner/Operator,,,brain?
Kidding, lower your weapons, staff, best results I've had, is to go to a freight outfit and ask what it would cost. I've found, the destination makes a big difference, as many outfits may not go to "Bugtussle", and they "broker" your item. I doubt an O/O will deal with this. How big? Can you rent a truck, and do it yourself?

 

Best bet is to find a local company, you’ll need a step deck trailer for a backhoe.

 

I've hauled stuff like backhoes in a van trailer, trouble is, it takes up a lot of space. Step deck will be pricey. How far does it need to go and how big? I've had nightmares shipping cars, and if it's not too big, rent a Uhaul trailer and do it yourself.

 

You'll pay the broker 2500 then a broker will pay the driver 1200.
