Hitch-hiking across the border is not possible. Instead you will have to take the shuttle across the 30kms of no-mans land to the border post. Foreigners are asked an astronomical 40 manats (in April 2012). Argue hard as it is obviously not the real price locals pay. Hitchhiker Nalddo managed to get a free lift with the shuttle bus.
From the Turkmen border post, it is only a 50 meters walk to the Irani side, and another 2 kilometers to the Irani village of Bajgiran from where it is easy to get a lift to Quchan and further to Mashad [[Mashhad]] and [[Tehran]].
If you are heading directly to Tehran, ask a Turkish truck driver at the border as all of them are driving to Turkey through Tehran. Or you can also try as the junction 15kms South of Quchan, as many truck drivers stop there for lunch or diner. Note that if you are heading directly to [[Tehran ]] you don't have to go through Mashad[[Mashhad]].
