Anyone in central Florida have a trailer to haul a truck on I could borrow?

[Ruppster]

I have a tandem axle semi truck that has a fifth wheel, pintle hitch, and 2 inch receiver mount. What I need is a trailer to haul a 12,000 pound truck. Something with ramps that would let a vehicle be driven on to the trailer. Don't care if it's a drop deck or a heavy duty equipment trailer, fifth wheel or pintle. Would be willing to trade hauling service in exchange. Or just rent the trailer. I live in the Tampa area of Florida so anything in the central part of Florida would work.

Thanks,

Hi,

I'm in Orlando and I spend all day yesterday looking for a truck and trailer to bring home a M-37 but had ZERO luck finding anything! Talked to my seller and found he has a truck and he's going to borrow his neighbor's trailer and he's going to bring it down for me for the costs of fuel . I hate to buy a trailer but I guess I'm going to end up doing that if I'm going to fool around with MVs. Then I'll HAVE to buy that Deuce to pull it with!

Good Luck!

Which one? The one in Tampa/Zepherhills? Tell me about it!

12,000LBs...hmm.

I have a heavy equipment trailer I use for my Unimog. I'm not sure if the tires on there are rated for 12K though, will have to check. What kind of truck, or at least how big is it? Might be important.

It was a single axle semi tractor that was converted to a dump truck. But the dump has been removed so now it is just a short wheel base cab and chassis about the length of a regular pickup. Weighs around 10,000 to 11,000 pounds. Need about an 8 foot wide trailer.

Thanks,

How far away is the truck? When would you be looking to use the trailer?

Let me go get some dimensions off my trailer real quick.

The truck's in Virginia. As far as when that is open. Sometime in the next 3 to 5 weeks.

Ruppster, I will be in VA first week of May, and can haul it back, if your trailer desires don't work out.
