M820 From Redstone AL to New Mexico.

I have checked with several transport companies and none of them have a trailer able to carry this vehicle due to the height 11.5 and length 30.5.

Anyone out there able to haul this load or had one hauled that can recommend a shipper?

Would like to have something lined up before the end of the month.

Think about removing the exhaust pipe above the muffler which is held on with a clamp and that should reduce the height of the load 2 feet which may m ake it easier to haul.

The exhaust is shorter then the box on the truck. The vehicle in question is in my avatar. Here is a front view.

Should go on a RGN trailer no prob. Truckingdeals.com. But be ready for $3.00/mile + for special equipment.

put a post on USHIP, and get bidders! I have had good luck, and let them bid! cannot hurt to throw it out there!

 

[davidkroberts]

ditto on the roadtrip. thats allot of truck to be throwing on a trailer. The previous poster was right somewhere around 3.00 a mile would be a good guess.

I got my M816 from Barstow CA to Aztec NM on a RGN for less then $2.00 per mile - I put it on Uship. That was a few years ago though.

You can always drop it off here in Louisiana and pick it up later for the rest of the trip.

Looks like I found a hauler that can work the transport for me.

GoldnEagle I will be down end of November 1st of December to drive that truck back since I know it works. The GL one I want to really go over it with a fine tooth comb before trusting it on a 1300 mile drive.

One issue could set me back the entire cost of shipping for towing and repairs to get it back on the road. Besides the wife has decided I am not allowed to leave her alone for weeks at a time with the kids.

Not to mention the Docs are making noises about more surgery on my leg.
