We've used them twice to haul our customers newly purchased equipment (100,000lbs) to god forsaken regions. They had to use Lincoln NE airport, Omaha's was too short. The last time (2004ish) I think it was $44,000 an hour, I dont think our customers could afford to use them anymore.
The first time our service guy was able to ride along to location.
