    Talking about being able to drive stuff on & off the trailer, yes, that's one of the kinds of cool I mean. We contracted golf carts for a couple of months one summer. While the pay wasn't great, it was a hoot!
    Driving those things on & off the top level was just plain fun. And sometimes the place they had to go was a ways from where you could park the trailer, so running carts 1/4 mile away to a clubhouse or maintenance building was even better! We delivered to some hoity-toity beautiful courses and golf communities.

    Where did you haul hummers for 1.00 a mile from? 3.00 per mile was left on the table.

    that was pretty cool, but it took them way too long to load that thing. I'd have given it balls-to-the-wall and hoped for the best LOL

    Who said I hauled 'em?

    Anyway rates are right on BOL it would be bad scene for a broker to steal 75% of the top. LOL

    I see broke up, fender flopping $8k fleet liner with cracked, rusty $4k steel/wood trailer and I assume he's hauling them for a buck. I mean look at his equipment! They are everywhere too.

    My mistake and not intended to say you did haul for a buck a truck, yes they do have those type of trucks hauling hummers and a few pieces of military gear like that.

    The biggest rag of a truck I witnessed hauling .gov gear was a cabover dragging a rusty junk yard flat, driver opened his door for inspection and trash rolled out onto the guard.

    Dash looked like a file cabinet, driver was nothing less than soap scared and tub shy.
