I have done it, but not in the last 10 years-  the cost will depend on
how far you are going & if it is 1 way or bringing the truck back to
the same place.

I towed my doka over 500 miles on 1 of these dollies behind an empty
26' U-Haul truck!  Not my ideal situation, but the doka did travel at
over 70 mph most of the way!  I know, I know, not smart to do, but we
needed to get home quickly after 2 engine fire delays.  In any event,
it cost me about $500, IIRC,  for the 1 way truck/dolly rental.  Local
RT I assume, would be much less, & hopefully you can get a truck
smaller than a 26 footer, which was the only 1 available in LaGrande,
Oregon on a Labor Day.

Good luck.
