A little different take on the Feight Delivery Charge
Since I Haul Trailers, I inputed Goshen ,Ind to South Lake Tahoe , Calif. Just for Kicks.
With those parameters, ( You most likely dont live on the Edge of Calif.) so, miles wuld be more most likely.
2729 miles is what our router gives, with those Paramerters.
With what they pay us ( Just a "tad" over a $1.00 mile..), and the fee that the Broker, freight company charges, the Fee for that far dosent sound all that far off base. ( about $500 high)
So, Just a Working Mans Perspective on the REAL costs.
Now, if you find the right rig, find a Dealer near Elkhart, Goshen..You can drive there and get it.
BUT, if you need service..You may be in for a wait, because you did not Buy Locally. Just the facts.
