The yards here in Georgia charge around $6-7/foot for a "haul". That
includes the haul out, blocking moving the stands one time and relaunch. A
one way haul without blocking or relaunch is around $3.50/foot. A boom
truck costs about $75/hour and time starts when they leave their yard so
figure $150 minimum . Add probably 20% for the yard markup and maybe
$100-150 for yard labor so $300 to $375 is about right for setting the mast.


My yard steps and unsteps masts in the Travellift's "well", using an old
crane they have there for that purpose.

The cost is $2.00 per foot, each way, i.e. $120. to unstep, $120. to
step when you're done working on it.
