It would really just depend on logistics and how much stuff I was bringing in one load on what I would have to price it at. I had also considered bringing nice rust free rollers out. Just need to look into it a bit more.
Not really sure what the prices are around here as not many people are going west or south anymore to bring loads back up. I think there is a need for it just no one is doing the work of getting goods back here. I know I paid 750 for the cab that had come up from Texas.

There are still some people that I catch at the gas station from time to time that are from further north. They always come back with a trailer full of beds stood up on end and usually a bed full of doors. Sometimes the truck and trailer is nothing but doors, fenders, etc. These guys go down and bring them back and sell from their location where as you would be bringing here and not sure how you would go about selling them. Not sure how you would go about finding some midwest contacts to maybe sell your load to and then they could resell.
