What's a fair price to charge...

[quiltnchik]

to haul a horse 400 miles round-trip using my truck and trailer. Anyone know?

Thanks!

you taking it there and bringing it back?

120 for gas
50 for wear and tear
100 for time
_________
$270 at least.

No, I'm going to pick the horse up and bring it to the farm where my daughter's horses are boarded. I know most people charge between .75 and $1.00 per mile, but was wondering if that sounded fair.

If you really think about it you are taking someones horses that far with your own time I would charge at least $300-500

A trip that far would charge a professional starting at 500.00 My horse was hauled from just 90 miles, ran me two hundred plus gas and they were a friend of dh's. Remember you are also giving your experience for a price so I would say 400.00

I was also thinking $400 ($1.00 per mile), but wanted to make sure that was a fair price to charge, since I'm going to have to stop for gas several times and also stop and eat, etc.

Thanks for all the advice!
