I've got more than a little recent experience with this sort of thing...
having done 4400 miles a week and a half ago...
Boston to San Jose...
3135.8 miles...
Driving 10 hours a day... 4 days, 9 hours, 11 minutes
10 mpg city, 20 hwy will cost you $316 in fuel...
total driving time of 49 hours, 11 minutes
What's your time worth?
I was able to combine my trip from IL to San Diego and back with work...
made sales calls in St Louis, Tulsa, Dallas, and Phoenix, then popped into
San Diego, and truned around and headed home 3 days straight. My diesel gets
18 mpg at 75 mph even thru the mountains pulling a small tariler. If you're
driving something gas powerem your fuel costs will be higher. My company
reimbursed me for the business portion of the trip at .33 a mile, so I made
$ on that.
Unless you have a show car, and or a a reason to want to see the country
(Nebraska goes on forever... the route I took that paralleled old Rt. 66 was
breathtaking(, I'd opt for the open carrier at $800.

Subject: Questions About Shipping My Spridget
Hello Everyone,
I may be relocating from Boston to San Jose for work. As I have two cars
(and one driver) I'm searching for solutions to get my sprite out there.
I sent out for some quotes to have it shipped. Ranges seem to be from $800
(open carrier with a couple weeks lead time) to $1800 (closed carrier with
specified dates)
On the other hand, if I do it myself, the cost to rent only the 4-wheel
trailer from U-Haul is $800.
Thoughts? Suggestions? All are appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Al
