While there's usually a fair amount of stuff coming out of Fort Carson, I have no idea what direction those items normally go from there. Except for what ends up here.
As far as those $1,500 quotes go, that's before the fees (VT in this case), and most are closer to, or over $2,500. And I could accept a low bid, only to find that the clock keeps ticking and nothing happens.
That's what happened to rtrask (on the Unimog thread). He paid a deposit and has been waiting for over three weeks now.
I tried to find a transport for both SEEs, which rightfully should be either cheaper per SEE, or more profitable for the driver, but that didn't work out. Also, the extra confusion with two people involved, even with common pickup and drop off points, didn't help any.
Then there's me. I've had a SEE transported from Texarkana, which is farther, for $1,300 when the fuel was more expensive. So I stubbornly think that it should cost about that much - which also happens to be what you'd charge, if i did the math correctly.
