Question
how much could a single truck owner charge per car with a 5 car hauler?is it different locally to regionally to nationally? (open trailer)
Char,
The size of your rig doesn't matter regarding price. Prices vary on do the cars run, are they oversized, is it a remote pickup or delivery, etc. There are many variables and prices do vary depending on what part of the country your in. Open trailer will get less than enclosed trailer, though.
