Default Shipping a trailer

Anyone ever shipped a trailer, I assume these could go a car hauler but it seems like that would be an expensive way to ship.

Hurricane trailers in GA quoted me $1/mile for around 1000mi ship to CT.
Featherlite quoted me $1.50/mi., same distance but near St. Louis to CT.
I went and picked it up in St Louis.
Niot quite sure how either of them planned to do it, just got the quotes.

I used Uship to get a trailer with car in it from Phoenix to Denver. Worked out well.

The guys that haul tag trailers have special trailers built so they can haul multiple at once. Most are located in Indiana. Noticing that your in MT, everyone elses freight rates don't count for you. MT is one of the hardest freight lines to work with. I've been working on getting things into MT for over a year and it's not easy/cheap.

Thanks if I can get a trailer to Michigan that would work. I've got a C3 and vette stored there I could drag to MT.
Thanks,
Phil

U-Ship will be a good start. You'll probably get proposals that offer to use your trailer to transport a vehicle/motorcycle as part of the deal...as long as they are insured and take pictures of the trailer before they use it, this is usually a good alternative, as you're getting a significant discount since the guy towing is making money towing your trailer.

Enclosed 24' from TX to NJ i was quoted under $1k with this method.
