Is there a ' standard" cost per mile for people to haul a horse trailer for you? I am needing to get one from Texas to somewhere in Washington or as close to that as i can get. Does anyone have any recommendations of people they have used? Thanks in advance

In October we had a trailer transported from Pennsylvania to Texas. We went through the dealership but found out we could of gotten it cheaper by contacting the shipper ourselves and making the arrangements. I have the shippers name and number at home. He was very very reliable and had it here ahead of the quoted schedule. I wont say what we paid since I am sure the dealership took a cut from that but will send the name/number we used for you to get a quote. There are several trailer shipping companies advertised from the Oklahoma area since so many trailers are built there. Might try some of them also.

Don't know that there is, a standard per mile fee. It's been discussed here before, from $1.00 a mile to "wouldn't haul other folk's horses for any amount of money". Local folks around here charge anywhere from $1.50 to $2.00 per mile to haul to a day show!!! Got to figure the driver has to run back and forth from home or, he is sitting and waiting all day for the show to be over.

Get a quote from u-ship.com . There are guys that are always looking for back hauls, etc. that will ship for you pretty reasonable. A good average cost is $1.50 to $1.75 per loaded (one way mile).
