    I do it also. Usually a tractor with a skid steer or a small excavator. Onlything written out on permits is the peice that is oversize, the mesurements of it/truck and trailer, and type of equipment that is OD/peermitted. We also do that stuff over here Pape. All the time.

    Hmm 3,400 over 1,200 miles is 2.83 a mile could possibly find 2 $1000 partials going near the quad cities so we can get up to 5400 on we will say 1500 miles, $3.60 on a couple more miles....opens your deadhead miles up a little bit so you don't have to cringe at a 200 miles dh

    Going into Bettendorf should be a decent place to find a load out of. You have a few JD places close and you also have Alcoa right there in Bettendorf.
