George,
I had mine individually flat-bedded from Buffalo, NY to Groton, MA in
northeastern MA. It was about 700 mile round trip. And across the board
the lowest rate I could get was $1.00 a mile plus tolls.
I don't think anyone would use this type of service for long, one-way
distances... but it gives you an idea on regional rates
