The Admiral and I are getting ready to call it and head home to Texas. Does anyone have any suggestions on a transport company that will move the Admirals car and my boat with trailer that wont break the bank? So far, we have been quoted by 1 guy at $2.00 a mile. Seems expensive

$2/mile is normal for enclosed/insured/bonded

$1.5/mile for open trailer

$1.25/mile if you can find an empty back-haul

Have a signed contract.
check refrences
check insurence
etc.
take photos before loading and upon delivery.

All that is why it is sometimes better to deal with a reputabl broker. This comes from 40 years trucking. 20 under my own authority.
