Not much to say after the title. The guy that bought my truck has a quote from these guys and I was hoping someone knows them and they are good honest people.

Any thoughts? Also is it safe to load a 9' 2" high truck on a 40" high trailer?

Thanks, Joe

9' 2" truck = 108 inches tall plus 40 inches trailer deck height equals 12' 6"

That would make the top of the truck 12'6" so it would be a foot under max highth )13'6".
The load would be legal.....just have to watch for low clearances otherwise you might end up with a convertible deuce.
I have seen their trucks out on the road but cant vouch for them.
There are several SS members that haul MV's professionally.....I would check with them since they know the "how to's" on dealing with GL, loading/unloading and securing MV's.

Will entertain any quotes on hauling. I looked around and couldn't find any place on here where potential haulers where listed. I do overlook stuff though.

This is the "Bob" I put on ebay a week ago. It's about 11,500 pounds (estimate based on my other truck like this) and of course a little shorter than a deuce.

If any of the regular movers check this forum, please feel free to call give me a price or post it here. I think the quote we have now is just $1.12 a miles, which I think is pretty good. Leaving from here in Columbia SC and going to Reo Rancho, NM. About 1600 miles I'm told. Very flexible pick up time. My cell is 803-309-7928.

Thanks, Joe

PS. This is the coolest thing I have ever driven :driver:

Would you happen to have any names for the SS memebers that haul, I need a bed and cab from ES hauled to Texas right now and maybe a 813 from Virginia to Texas soon
