MUDShip Longshot load. Florida to Idaho

[Cruiser Junky]

Location

United States

I just bought a BJ73 in Sarasota Florida and need it brought out west. I'm in Northern Idaho but have family near Boise that i can have it dropped at if need be. Ideally further North but at this point I'm running out of options. I put it out on the board through a broker but no takers and over a week.

Cars are sitting everywhere across the US. Huge driver shortage and backlog from the holidays. You may look into shipping it somewhere more likely to get a driver. Denver, Salt Lake etc...

Thanks. Slightly good to know it’s not just my oddball load. I will mention to the broker changing drop off location to a spot more along the major highways.

I can haul it, but it won’t be cheap. I’m home based in Boise, filled currently but could make it work. I’ll Pm you.

 

[Cruiser Junky]

Great! I will look for PM and get back with you

I could use a vacation… want it to go to my shop, get baselined and driven there?

 

[Cruiser Junky]

It might very well come to that. If I was more familiar with the rig I would prob drive it back. Would hate to drive 2300 miles with no gear lube in the diffs. Haha.

Still no luck getting it picked up. Any ideas? Thanks

I have a trip going to Florida soon , I can get it back to Delta Colo

I'd be willing to drive it to you. Get me a plane ticket there and home, pay for the fuel. It'll be fun. Hell if Boston Bob gets it to Denver or close to, I can drive it up to Idaho for you.

Cheers,
Angelo

Thank you everyone for trying to help make something happen. This is why I’m grateful to forums like this. I finally got a commercial carrier to bring it up. They picked it up last night. 30 days after purchasing..

What did it cost you? I’m guessing that’s why it sat. I had one guy from Florida to San Diego for $1250 but then cancelled because truck was having issues and went back to his home base. Another person picked up the order days later for $1500. Shipping a Defender 130 so it’s a big vehicle. I was happy with that price.

I ended up paying $2,000. I’m sure a lot of it was due to the extreme weather that was going on.
