Coverage Area and Travel
Fees
I have created this page
to post travel fees. The prices listed on the "Menu" page are for
local customers (with in a 1 hour driving range).
Coverage Area
is limited to 2 hours drive time with truck and trailer. Any thing
over 2 hours can be negotiated but it will not be
cheap.
Now that means I don't
want to hear about how you have some magic
power to make Long Island 20 minutes from Frenchtown or Mapquest is
run by "anti-pig roast people" or you know a good short cut to Cape
May. I just use Mapquest to get a basic idea on this web page. I use
a more detalied program to generate directions, distances and to
check for roads and streets that may restrict vehicles with
trailers.
Reason for "travel fee":
Fuel cost is number 1 reason. A
truck/van & trailer do not get very good gas
mileage.
Wear and tear on the
vehicle and trailer. I need not tell anyone about the condition of
some roads and highways in the tri-state area. It only take one good
pot hole and there is $100.00+ for a new tire.
Time. I
have to pay my help from the time they leave till they
return. Yes that means if you are 2 hours away... well
you do the math. And not to mention 1 hour loading time, 2
hours drive, 8 hours at the job, 2 hours back and 1 hour unload time
make for a long day.So that is why I set the limit at 2
hours.
Less
then an hour but outside Hunterdon County $35.00 to
$50.00
More than 1 hour
$75.00 to $150.00
More than 2
hours starts at $250.00
This fee is subject to change as
the price of fuel changes.(this message was

You can check driving
distance/time using this link to mapquest. I do realize Mapquest is
not perfect but it is close.
