When I towed some else's glider, I wrote a letter authorizing me to have
posession of the glider and trailer. The owner signed and dated the letter.
He asked for my driver's license number, which I provided. He verified that
his insurance would cover any damages during the trip.

The trailer had a European connector and my truck had a flat-4 connector.
We went together to the Autozone and bought a flat-4 mating connector, some
wire, and some crimp on spades. We crimped the spades onto the connector
and, one at a time, found which wire was which and connected the spades into
the Euro connector. It was getting dark and starting to snow during this
activity.

When all was ready, the owner counted out cash into my hand, we shook hands,
and parted ways. He called my cell the next afternoon to determine my
progress and I told him I was about 2 hours from completion. When I
delivered the trailer, I called him and reported it done.

It was surreal, receiving a Ventus-2, a Cobra trailer, and a hand full of
cash from a perfect stranger, but we're glider pilots and tend to trust each
other. I was very careful with his glider and I believe he was happy with
the service.

What should one expect to pay for having a glider delivered...cost per

What kind of contract would be required? Payment in advance via
Google mileage?
What about condition/roadworthiness of the trailer? Hold harmless
agreement?
Any details/input for those who have done this please.
