Rate information for a round trip empty trailer and bobtail back.

Does he already have bobtail insurance? Or will he need to add a bobtail policy? Standard policies only apply when pulling a trailer.

 

"Properly insured" doesn't necessarily mean he has bobtail insurance. Does he have bobtail insurance?

 

I’m sure they could find someone for much cheaper. I’d be more worried about how road worthy this old trailer is. But you would know more then i of course.

So, if $6500 was already agreeable to the owner of the trailer then go for it. If the trailer is in bad shape though I’d have a written agreement that the owner pays repair costs and the trucker is not liable.

 

I couldn’t see the guy going for anymore then $4500 tops. A broker could technically find a power only needing to go north and move it for half that. I guess it all depends on how patient the guy is, how much money he has, and if he knows how to find any other options besides your buddy.

 

$4800 would be $3/mile all miles - I'd imagine a fella would be happy with that for a little over 2 days and bobtail half the miles.
