Need to transport M35A3 from GL Barstow, CA to Redlands, CA *URGENT*

[usmcr55]

I was supposed to get my M35A3 from Barstow today (9-15-09). I gave the towing company a week's notice of the pickup date and time. I allowed 2 hr. for loading. The GL folks waited with me an additional 15 minutes past closing, but the driver did not make it! I tried to re-schedule with the towing company, but I don't believe they are interested any longer. My GL allowed pickup time span is all but exhausted (I was out of town for a week).
The M35A3 is not running and thus needs to be winched on and off the transporter.
So, any recommendations for a towing service? I did read the thread started by NF6X in 2008 and will try the recommendations provided there. My next GL scheduled pickup date is Thursday, 9-17-09. Very short fuse!!
Any help will be appreciated!

can it be towed to a parking lot to buy you some more time?

Anyone out there with a towbar and a deuce or 5 ton? That's how I get most of them off Jackson for guys. Seeing as I'm the one who caused the 'no drive off the lot' rule...

I would like to thank everyone for their inputs. I have found another towing service that says they can do the job. We're on for tomorrow, Yea! Stay tuned for the outcome and thanks again.

That truck looks great! I'm jealous!

I'm surprised that a 2-axle tilt-bed wrecker could move it, especially with the heavy end way at the back. When I've hired towing companies to move deuces, they either used Landoll semitrailers or commercial wreckers that lift the front axle and leave the rears on the road.

Congratulations!

Yea im thinking that tiltbed was well beyond its load capacity since most top out at 10k lbs, but on the other hand it did get the job done! Nice looking rig, some say the M35a3s are ugly but they semm to grow on ya after awhile!

I used to have a Gama Goat, so I have a high tolerance for ugly!

For future searches - I used Barstow Towing to move my M816, called them up one day and they moved it the next day. Good price also.
