Trailer Recovery FL to LA

[goldneagle]

Can anyone help me recover a 20' box trailer from North Florida and bring it to my home in Slidell, LA. I have the truck to pull it with. I just needed someone to go with me on the recovery so I don't have to do it all on my own. It will probably be Tuesday January 18, 2011. We need to leave here Monday night in order to be there Tuesday Morning. About 350 mile drive.

I was hoping some local could volunteer to help out. Attached is the picture of the trailer.

Please PM me if you can help out. Please include a contact phone #

Thanks in advance.

that is going to be a bit tough as it it not made for highway speed

if you need to park it somewhere until you can get it moved you can park it in the yard here.

Where in N Florida? I can't help tow but if need a drop spot for temp storage let me know. I am in tallahassee.

Looks like some kind of support equipment trailer. Without having a model number I am guessing Ron is right and you won't be towing that down the freeway.

No suspension ,defiantly not road worthy.

I assume you already asked Gimpy? Doesn't he go on pretty much every crazy recovery?

Looks like a Support Euipment trailer like Jim said. You won't be going fast at all.

I'd try to get ahold of Desert Rat! He doesn't go over 25 MFH cross country!

Are you serious or is this a joke?

I am going to call someone tomorrow to see what they would charge to haul it here from FL. If not I will default on it. Unless someone local would like to buy it. I have $740 into it.

I'm the joking Chief, Jim is the serious one. He must be serious.

I think I read this story. Something about a F uped transfer case.

Problem is I have 2 weeks to get it and they only open on Tuesday mornings.

Better start Googling back roads. If you can get some weight up forward in it, she might tow better. Hard to tell without seeing the model number and knowing what it was used for.

That is not something you want to tow. It will shake apart by the time you get it home. No suspension/does it have brakes/lights? The key is, do they work? Probably the front steering is not made for speeds greater the 20 MPH. Best just to load it on a gooseneck and haul it. That is a serious trip, for something that is proven roadworthy.

GE,
In 05 or 06 He went on a cross country trip and lost his high gear in the transfer case. Came back from Kentucky (I believe) with the T/C in low. He was driving a M109 towing a big trailer with a dozer on it. I'd have it towed if I were you.

I have painful memories of that a$$hat! I'm surprised I do ANYONE any favors after dealing with him.

Just spoke with the rodent. He lost his T-CASE. He's stuck driving home in low range. He said he is running 23MPH in high gear.
We should get a interesting story opon his return.
