The trailer is located in Ephraim, Utah 84627. For evaluation purposes, mileage will be calculated from Ephraim, Utah to the vendor’s facility and return, at a rate of $2.50 per mile, with two round trips (to drop off and pick up). This assessment reflects the transportation cost associated with delivering the tractor to and from each vendor’s location.
