A step deck should be enough to keep it under height.

Last time I did the short term, I got a months insurance from State Farm. They will not cover it themselves, but have a commercial underwriter do it for them. The big guys can usually do this the easiest. Remember to tell them very low mileage per month/year, as that really drops the cost of it...

And you can usually get short term insurance. Some commercial type insurance would be available on a weekly basis, but most will offer a monthly basis type setup. I have done that before.

technically, a trip permit for your truck will cover the registration part.

CDL A, Combination, Air Brake. That will cover what you are pulling. Then just over size permit and signage. I have flat towed a deuce with a deuce. Not the best, but I have done it quite a bit really. That that is without the 5 ton brakes. I think it would be ok with the safety of the braking...

Also, doesn't that truck have the air fittings on the front fenders so it can be flat towed with full brakes? You have a fairly heavy truck to tow it with, just grab a towbar and you are ready to bring it back.

I drive the big semi wreckers. So I get to haul just about everything behind it. The A is nice because you are no longer limited to what you can drive. But with your vision issues, you have a valid point with going for the B.

WA isn't so forgiving on it. But the learners permit is an easy way around most of the issues you will have.

I meant the learners permit. You only need to have your DOT physical and take the 'written' tests at the local DOL. The tests are pretty darn easy really, and are on a computer. So you just skip the ones you don't know, and do as many of the ones you know until you are forced to take the ones...

Also, anyone have a lowboy? Be easier to haul it over and not worry about it. Granted, fuel would cost a bit, but it would allow for a safer time frame of fixing things.

remember, if you have a CDL driver with you, you only need the permit to drive.

I also have my CDL and current DOT med card. Not sure if I will be available those days, and if so, that is a LOT of extra driving considering how much driving I do on a normal basis....
