    How do you plan on loading and unloading the container from the trailer?

    If it's a high cube container you will need a stepdeck with 40' on the bottom. How do you plan on lifting it on and off?

    and does he want a spring ride trailer to demolish his belongings? Will the driver that hauls it be responsible for the damages to stuff inside the container?

    Oh the money he's gonna save!:biggrin_25523:

    Distance is 2093 miles
    I would think you would need to come up with a minimum of $1.50 per mile
    You will also have to cover the drivers down time for him and his truck and dead head miles
    $300 per day????
