    Honest question here:

    What does it take to move something like this?
    Is it an all day thing or can you knock it out in a few hours?

    Do you need permits or are you already licensed for the weight?

    Pilot cars?

    Etc.

    Well to answer your question. Each ld. can very. Alot depends where you ld. and unld. at.
    But I figure all day just in case.
    This ld. here all depends on how busy the plant is to ld. you. Drive on and off. Yes you do need permits for this one for the weight, but I think somebody did not order any for that ld. seeing how they bid it that cheap. It lds. in Ia. and just barely goes into Il. So I bet they did'nt order an Il.
    Me, my mim. on that bid is 1500.00.
     
    Freightlinerbob Thanks this.

    I don't even move for less than $500, and that's on legal flatbed/stepdeck stuff. I don't get the rates I'm hearing on big loads, gotta be some kind of masochist to put that kind of money into a rig and roll that cheap.

    If you were light enough you could put 70K on six, not very many that can do that, more than likely it would need 7 axles to do it.

    Yea it could be done on 6. Yes I have a hyd. neck, but still 1500.00 lol.
    I think it went on 5 and they were hoping on not getting caught...
