Yep TMM we found same thing as you did. It is pricey to rent one way. At present I am spending about 850 dollars round trip in gas. Thus it just does not pencil out for us. Eats and hotel will be the same obviously, and I am figuring my time and wear and tear on my truck is minimal. Hah! Plus have you ever sat in one of those rental trucks for a day? Man they are short on creature comforts! Like a day cab only worse! I will get AC fixed in my truck ASAP. I was just not planning on this trip over the fourth. I have not needed AC in my truck for many years! Think Fargo weather!
