Default Anyone with a trailer fancy a little job??

230 miles each way, to pick up and deliver a car shell.

Cleveland ish (thats where the shell is) to Norfolk (thats where its going). What sort of money should I expect to pay for a job like that?

I don't think dollys are legal for transportation, only 'recovery'.

I might be needing the same soon, the car's in Grimsby and it'll need taking to Norfolk, 120 miles each way.

I seem to think Dollies are only 'supposed' to be used as a means of recovery.
