Sounds like a great teardown, move, and set up. Lots of miles. Now hopefully you will have a great week. Good Luck.

How soon did the equipment begin showing up at the new spot?
I've never been "with it", just been an interested observer of carnivals for more than 50 years.
Johnny's United Shows..."A Family Tradition" and "All for Fun, Fun for All".
The carnival of my youth, which had roots that originated in my hometown.

Figure out what it cost to make that jump....

Probley 30 loads total.

Average truck gets 12+or- MPG

750/12= 62.5 = + or - gallons of fuel per load

62.5 x 30=1875 = or - gallons of fuel

$3.00 gallon X 1875= $5625 + or -



Not counting if any Doubling back or Drivers pay or repairs made during jump such as Blow outs and whatnot...

This numbers are based on just rough guesses and have a margin of error of + or - 100%[;)]

Average number of Hitchihikers looking to work picked up on a jump that long...1 old guy and 1 guy with a small dog....

Number of guys with Licences = 4

No rain in parts of the south for weeks now. Here in my town in Kentucky we've not had significant rainfall since May 4th...and there's only been a tenth of an inch at my house since then. It's the dryest around these parts that I've ever seen it this early.

Fair season starts in Kentucky next week. I'd say that guarantees rain for about the next eight weeks solid.

With those numbers sausageseller mentioned just double the original figure to about $12,000 for the jump...
