Recently purchased a reefer and a lowboy at auction. They are both near one another. Would it possible to load the reefer on the lowboy or would I be to tall going down the road. Need to get from GA to CO.

reefer by itself is 13'4 - 13'6 depending on 5th wheel height. Add 18" for the trailer you're loading it on....

Canadianhauler21, Kyle G. and pavrom Thank this.

Power only haulers will move it for cheap........
Brettj3876 Thanks this. -
He could haul it.
But permits and escorts amd routing won't be cheap. -
Take the wheels off.
The reefer, not the lowboy... in case there is any confusion.
Or maybe just let the air out, block it, yadda, yadda, yadda...
Assuming the lowboy is big enough to handle the reefer, otherwise find a power-only tractor as suggested, find a one-way load, etc.
Might have to remove the landing gear too. If there's a will, there's a way. Just whichever makes the most sense.JolliRoger, okiedokie, Canadianhauler21 and 4 others Thank this. -
Just flop it over on its side
MACK E-6, Dino soar, thelushlarry and 3 others Thank this. -

Most lowboys with an 18inch deck height would probably be 15ft high loaded. It depends on where the from and to locations are. Ga and Tn and SC no problems permitting that high. But I’m sure it’d be cheaper having power only companies haul them.....
062 and Wasted Thyme Thank this.
