Chino, that web-site I was talking about is www.uship.com, there might be more boards like that, check out www.craigslist.com too.
One thing you could do to your new truck that a lot of people do is take it to Tampa Spring Co. & have them put a heavy duty spring on the rear end (helper spring) it will be better for towing.
Also most 3/4 ton's & up already have them but make sure if it's an automatic that you have a tranny. cooler on it, I run the tranny on my old Bronco (E4OD,tranny) w/ a cooler that doesn't go thru the radiator, I'm not a mechanic but to me it doesn't make much sense to have your tranny cooler lines running thru a 200 degree radiator. Get the biggest, aftermarket tranny cooler you can find & run it thru that instead, florida heat & stop & go traffic, pulling a trailer is hard on the tranny, it's get's hotter if you go out west or climbing mountains w/ a trailer.

  Yeah, I know, I rebuilt the tranny on my Tahoe, and had it reinforced and had a cooler put in.

  How much does it weigh? Send me the pick-up, and delivery address so I can calculate the miles and how much it will be.

 Well, the fuel there and back is about $1200., according to the miles your giving me and it will probably take me about four to five days to get there and back.I'd charge you about $450. for the transport fee's, plus food and hotels.
   If I have a run out that way that I can pick this up on the way back, I'll cut the cost in half. Let me know.

So you pay yourself 100 bucks a day and out of that comes food, hotel, truck payment, and maintenance? Sounds like you are shortchanging yourself.

  No,, your right, I forgot to add that in, my bad. The $450. is only for the transport fee's.  I have to have both addresses too, so I can determine the miles back, and forth.
   I would have to do some more calculating. Thanks.

  I will look into it Scott and let you know. You are trying to have them all in one day, and not spread out right?
