Chocks Hey all, Well all this talk has me wondering what size chocks I'll need for the Mk48 LVS? There is actually a chock carrying rack on the rear left fender... Anyone know what the proper chocks look like for the LVS and where i can get a set? Thanks!

Check Check you state laws... In Indiana and Ohio and I believe KY, the CDL specifically states FOR COMMERCIAL PURPOSES and defines it as being paid to drive. Therefore you don't need any CDL to drive a unit...

Miles I don't care to put the miles on mine anyway... miles = maintenance... and I'd rather be having fun with those miles...

Quote Talked to my broker today, and told him the prices were over what we expected... After talking directly to him found out the problem... he quoted all removable gooseneck trailers (the kind i need for my tanks) all there on the same day. He may rebid, but we should continue onward! Thanks!

Update Hey all, Yep, it may make the drive down, but I don't think I'll do the trails with her! Ok, on the transport... here are the costs: This is roll on / roll off... coordinated so all trucks are there same day... roll trailer and same day made the numbers a little more than I expected...

Richmond Due to the trucks having to go by me to get to St. Louis, I'm sure I'll have mine come direct to me... I'm more east and not far from I-75...

Awesome Wreckerman, totally understand! Hey while they're at it, have them find me a nice Mk15 and Mk17 rear unit! LOL

Good News Wow, thats good news!

Shipping My broker is working to have all vehicles there on a single day. I think you covered the info really well Wreckerman... one thing that may be important is if the unit is currently attached to the trailer. For shipping, they will need to be attached. The trailer is unmovable so I've...

Wisconsin? Does anyone know the Wisconsin buyer? I have yet to hear from him / them... I need an address soon.. they are working on quotes now...

Hey all, Whats the length of the M927/928 bed? I just picked up a Mk48/14 and I'd like to see if the M927/928 bed could be put on the Mk14 bed... I'd like to have sides and rails on it...as I can't yet find a Mk17 trailer. Thanks

Weight Guys, According to the TM the curb weight of the Mk48/14 is 41,300... so we should be fine on weight... width is good too... however length is interesting... almost 40 feet! Thats a squeaker on a trailer!

Addition I also added another possible one to Oklahoma... per one of the posts.

Update Guys, I've sent a preliminary email to my shipping broker, however these guys are THOROUGH and they need final address locations. I have alerted them that there will be one to Indiana, one to St. Louis, two to Safety Harbor FL, one to St. Paul MN, one to Wisconsin. However I must...

Coordination i think having Wreckerman head over and work with trucking loading is a fantastic idea... perhaps as an onsite supervisor directing load out etc. I know it ALWAYS helps having someone familiar with MVs be there to start drive, and oversee loading / tiedown. You can't always trust...

Intersted I'm interested... If you guys can get me addresses where yours are going, I have a shipping broker I work with that moves my tanks. I could see if we could get a volume discount of some sort. Dave

Right He's right... I read the entire Commercial Vehicle Safety Act of 1986, and it is strictly covering the enforcement of commercial activity. If you are driving for private use, inside your own state (it appears that you could be challenged due to interstate commerce clause if crossing...

I grabbed one... I grabbed a compete power unit and trailer... flat bed... I would be VERY interested in working with guys who bought them to get these units to a common place to load and get them together. If someone wants to hire a wrecker to get them off base and then we convoy to a place...

Guys, I posted this awhile back, and a lot of guys have found it extremely helpful. I get asked through SS quite a bit, on how to import, and/or acquire vehicles overseas, especially from E. Europe. I thought I would repost it here to help those with these questions. I would be happy to...

Tank Owning tanks and importing them is not for the faint of heart. I've self imported several tanks, dug through old Russian military bases, attempted to negotiate with E. European's to get stuff out, you name it. I can tell you the following: 1) You MUST have a big enough place to run...
