M934 5 ton 6x6 from Fort Bragg to Seattle

[bikeman]

It is an expansable truck, I can tell from the pics. I will check it next week. Worst case, if you need time to arrange pickup/shipment, I can recover to an off site location and we can go from there. I do not have an issue doing this with anyone who buys out of Bragg. I'm pretty sure between ABN 173, myself, and a few others, we can find/fix/store anything.

As I said in the PM, I will contact felix and arrange an onsite inspection next week.

you will need a "low boy" of some type, a standard flatbed trailer will be overheight IIRC. These are TALL trucks.

That is a very good price. I paid $5 a mile a year ago. Has anyone ever sent a vehicle by train? I have a friend that does the cross country rally and he sends his jeep to California from Raleigh by train and then takes a plane out a week later.

Why not put out a call for a member to pick up the unit, and store it till you can work out shipping. Uship came through for us on an out of town deal.

 

[bikeman]

I've contacted felix to arrange inspection. Based on the conversation he and I had yesterday it will be Monday or Tuesday.

I can also recover to off site for temp storage until shipment can be arranged (18-wheeler accessible, we can find a ramp if required, but easier if shipper has that capability)

Thanks Bikeman. I talked to Felix and he said he might be able to find a corner to stick it for awhile too. But if necessary I would very much appreciate it if you could move it off base for me until I figure out how I am going to get it home. I will PM you my phone number and you can call me when you get a chance.

fwiw, I recently had bikeman help me with a pickup(small item) and he is holding it for me until the near future.

He was great to work with and very helpful.

Thanks again bikeman.

I will drive it, pm sent

Best of luck on this one...This is one for the recorded books...Best wishes.

M934 and m934A1 probably won't get 7mpg. I get 6 mpg in my M925.

I've recovered several M934s with the NH250 and got 4-5mpg out of them cruising at highway speeds in varied terrain.

PM sent. (For all interested parties, yes it was an offer - $2 per loaded mile. )

If I decide not to drive it myself I will consider all offers. Thank you, Mark

I'm driving my deuce from Midland Texas up to Bellingham Washington starting next weekend (taking 2 weeks, mostly camping). Could meet up along the way for a convoy.

Would love to but we will be in Vegas next week till the 15th. Planning on getting the truck after that.

I will very probably be in Vegas around this time retrieving a truck also...

Depending on how fast you drive west I might be in the Utah/Idaho/Oregon area.

Is there anyone in the Fayetteville area with a CDL who wants an all expense paid trip to Seattle and a return ticket home? My co-pilot had to back out so I need another driver to make the trip with me. I want to go straight through with minimal stops and take turns driving with someone. should be able to make it in 2 days (3 on the outside) barring any major breakdowns.

Well the adventure begins. Leaving Ketchikan headed for NC and would'nt you know it, the plane breaks down on landing so we are still waiting. Hope this is'nt an omen.��
We should be at Bikeman's house by tomorrow afternoon, have a beer and dinner, then get started.

Sounds like the start to my trip, been delayed 2 weeks so far

Alaskaboy and his Soldier B took the M934 out for a test drive today. We identified some small things and snagged a borrowed tool from ABN 173. They are going to air everything up in the morning and take off if they hold air (one seems reluctant).

Good luck and Godspeed Alaska boy.

What is the plan for getting the truck from Seattle to Alaska?
