Those trucks are retarted. I would think flying up and driving back or towing your truck back with it would be the two best options.

Since you can ( more or less ) earn about 1.25 a mile after expenses and you can drive about 550 miles ( more or less ) a day

550 x 1.25 = $687.00 per day

plus all expenses on way up and back, plane ticket, fuel, taxi's, etc.

drive it back

I say fly and drive.

that thing prob gets 15 mpg right? so it would cost you around $230 to drive it home. you can prob get a plane ticket for 200-250 one way

could fly there, pick it up and drive straight home in a day (15 hours drive time though) and only cost you about 500

where is it?

edit: I just saw your $850 quote... I wouldn't waste my time going up there and driving back if you would only make a couple hundred on the deal.. you can sub it out to that company and make $200 here while they ship his truck for you and have a full day or two left over

drive it back

I would go this route, but see if you can get $1.40 per mile out of him.
