M816 from AL to AZ

Moving a M816 wrecker from [FONT=Verdana,Arial,Helvetica][SIZE=-1]Redstone Arsenal, AL[/SIZE][/FONT] to either Tempe, AZ or Casa Grande, AZ. Probably around the end of January. Any ideas what I should expect as far as pricing?

How long the trip takes is not important. As I understand it, a straight shot trip would be considerably more expensive than moving it a bit at a time using trucks on return trips and so on.

I know about uship.com, but have never used it myself. Any pointers?

Basically looking for any advice anybody has to offer.

I moved my M816 from Barstow CA to Aztec NM with a bid from Uship. The guy used a RGN (removable gooseneck) trailer and for 770 miles it was about $1500.

Good luck.

There are tractor trailers delivering to Redstone GL almost daily.
I would try to find one that wants a backhaul out that way.
They have a ramp at Redstone so it could be loaded onto a regular stepdeck as opposed to a RGN.
They have a huge front end loader that could push it up on the trailer.
If you need someone to run interfence for you send me a PM. I have worked with Teresa up there a lot.

I haul these types of vehicles and an average price is $1.80-2.00 a mile. If you use u-ship 20% of the bids you get are paid to u-ship for broker fees. Call me direct and check out my profile. 910-263-2788 24/7
