[Roadsters] shipping a truck from texas to georgia

[tim fisher]

Hey Tim,
  I'd be interested in how much they charged.  Probably was some bonding or insurance coverage.  Was there a per mile charge or was it a flat rate.  Been kicking around doing some hotshot stuff or car hauling....
Thanks,
Tim
