| A dealership in Texas wants 1800.00 to move a trailer from there to Ohio. Any suggestions? |

Location: Zionsville, Indiana | Not out of line, unfortunatelyl. See if you can find someone who will pull it on a backhaul, such as a freighter that is pulling an RV from northern Indiana to Texas and will come back empty unless they find a backhaul. Backhauls will be about $1.00 per mile. Or, go to www.UShip.com, enter your shipping point and destination and type of trailer, and people will bid on the trip. IMPORTANT - be sure to have full coverage insurance for the value of the trailer before it leaves Texas. This is not expensive insurance as there is no liability involved. |

Location: Rayne, LA | I would agree with Paul and you will also find out how your tow vehicle will do ( besides seeing this great countryside ) |

Location: Missouri | The rate doesn't sound that high. With out knowing exact locations, I came up with 1300 miles which comes out $1.40 per mile. When I ordered my trailer from Trail Rider, they offered to have it shipped, but I picked it up instead and saved about half the shipping costs. |
