Shipping an MK48....

[Jayco36REQS]

Anyone had any experience or idea what it kind of cost to ship an MK48 and MK17 from Jacksonville, FL to Dayton OH?

Even a ballpark guess range is good enough...

Check in the transportation threads...

$3.00 to $4.00 a mile maybe a little more. A quote this week might be no good next week if fuel prices spike .

MK48 from Jacksonville FL to Dayton OH

Need a cost estimate for transporting an MK48 w/ MK17 trailer... from Jacksonville FL to Dayton OH...

It's 40 feet long and weighs 48,000 and some change.

A light tractor with a 48' stepdeck can pull it.

It won't be cheap.

could be as much as $5,500

I'm guessing no chance to ship two at once ehh? lol

If it's running, consider flying a SS driver there and back home after he drives it up. It would be cheaper.

you will need a class a linc to drive the mk48

AND........you can't drive it off base! So you need to figure a haul/tow off base. Which raises another question.....who in their right mind would want to drive one that far!!!!

Not if you strap a small camper on the trailer with the wheels taken off the camper.

Tah Da! It's and RV.

I stopped bidding early.. cost of transport too high.. More coming in August, hopefully will have favor owed I can call in.

I saw that too PC, is that for all vehicles, or just the MK48s? Hmmmm..............

Oh, I'd like to drive one, not sure that far though.

Is the USMC liquidating these? Many listed DRMS. What is replacing it or is it just Obama RIF?

I was thinking of you Ron when I wrote that. Good luck!
Seems like it would be a fun trip. Heck, I might even ride with ya!

 

[Bighurt]

OP asked about Mk48 nothing about the RBU, so yes 2 would fit on an RGN.

The OP is talking about a compleat unit (front and rear), maybe two units

If you can afford to own an Oshkosh shipping charges shouldn't be much of a concern for you.

This is what it says about said vehicle (no specific sale or item mentioned):

The unit has batteries and runs. Located at Blount Island, Jacksonville, FL. Preview/removal by appointment only. Buyer loads. GL will not help load this item. Screeners must request entrance by calling 904-779-6676 at least 24 hours in advance. required to be transported off the installation by flatbed or tractor trailer. Under no circumstances can vehicles or other rolling stock be driven from the installation

Recovering one of these vehicles will be an exercise in logistics. Blount Island is located a long way from the GL site I'm familiar with. It may be an unmanned site. There will be a lot of coodination required between customers, truckers and GL people.

If said vehicle won't crank and the truck picking it up has no winch then it will be necessary to get a big wrecker to get it up on the trailer.

I'm trying to find out if the vehicle can be towed off base with a commercial wrecker.

I have a contact number for some truckers that work out of Orlando that moved some MV's for a fellow member a while back.
