[QUOTE="drew gandy, post: 43319, member: 880"] Re: Moving trucks [COLOR=#222222][FONT=Times]The numbers that I've seen: A) a small (16' box or so) one way rental is about $1600 and up. B) a medium truck (24') one way rental is about $2700 and up. C) Pods and Upack are not really any cheaper (for the same cubic volume of space) than renting a truck and driving especially since there's a small camper to tow. A) a less than 16klbs truck can be licensed in IL for under $150 (there is now less than 6 mo left on the truck year). B) Insurance should only have to be paid for the time of use. I guess around $100 for a month on a commercial policy. C) I'm not sure what inspections are necessary or what they cost. D) Vehicle Use Tax for IL would likely be under $100. But yeah, a 'buy, drive and sell' doesn't seem worth the hassle, especially for the small truck. My thought is... My ancient Chevy truck lost all gears faster than 1st and I would like to replace the whole ugly truck rather than repair. I'm thinking to take the rental fee as a discount on a truck and offer to help move. But, A) the combination of the return fuel and my time are looking to eat most of the gains. B) I would want to make sure I have confidence in the truck before a long trip. Not sure I have time for that. C) I don't know what size truck is necessary. I don't really need or want a medium-big truck(20+ foot box). A 16' Isuzu or Mitsu would probably be about right. Seeing as many on here have experience doing tours I thought I might find some wisdom. Thanks for the helpful responses. [/FONT][/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
