Typical cost per mile to transport 5th Wheel
It's looking more and more like my 5er is going to arrive several weeks ahead of the truck. If I were to have it professionally hauled, what cost per mile might I expect?

Where did that come from? There is a lack of long haul drivers,due to mostly to the new electronic logs and duty hours. Petroleum haulers are normally pretty local established companies with that would have a pretty stable workforce.
I don't believe I have ever seen a tanker with a sleeper, nothing but day cabs. If you are operating a day cab, hours of service and e-logs are not as much as a problem.- If there are truly gas/diesel shortages coming d/t lack of tanker truck drivers, expect a lot
- If the time comes, call around. There can be a big difference between shippers. I got quotes from $2,100 to $1700 to ship my fifth wheel from Florida back to the factory in Indiana. For a local move, it’s probably more about finding a guy with a hole in his schedule.
- How far are you talking? 1,500 miles or across town?
