All good points. I'm checking on the insurance tomorrow.
This is how I figured the costs:
DAS enclosed charges $1280 to go from Charlotte NC to Fort Myers FL. 712 miles
A freightliner FL70, quad cab fifth wheel w/ sleeper will do 12 mpg towing a trailer according to my google searches.
Diesel here is $3.70 a gallon.
3.70/12 = 0.308 cents a mile.
712 miles x 0.308 cents a mile = $219.30
Thats a grand profit per car (likely move at least 2 cars per trip)minus monthly costs like truck payment, insurance, etc.
Of course this is only covers gas but there is a decent margin in there.
As far as doing the driving myself, at 1st, then hire on a driver. Not having a house, the wife's not buying that. Maybe downsize back to a condo.
