Best way to ship a Semi Truck to the West Coast

After selling a few older trailers and trucks when the price was way up i realized i don't have the patience to deal with all the idiots. My salesman at the dealer just laughed at me.

 

It should really be on the buyer to arrange delivery.

I forget the details, but when @zmster2033 bought the truck off me, he paid a driveway company to come and hitch up their pickup truck and drive 900 odd miles for $1 - $1.50/ mile if I recall.

If it were a recovery deal, and helping out a friend, there's ways to get it done. When it comes to business - if 'they' buy it - 'they' can figure out how to get it.

 

Midwest, would you happen to have a like new, tri axle belly dump, you will sell me for $5,000 delivered?

 

Tie the tow behind real good.
Saw one come loose in Indiana yesterday and it’s not being driven ever again.

 

No, sir. As previously mentioned, I flat tow. It's a 4x4 pickup with the transfer case in neutral. That wheel needs to pivot.

 

I sold my truck and trailer to a guy in California last October. I hauled my car and 7 others out there. Added 10k plus in revenue. His truck he had been driving blew a turbo on his way back from looking at mine in NY. Had a 5k deposit but ended up waiting a week for him to get back to LA to complete the transaction. He got his new to him truck and trailer, my finance company got their cut, I got my cut and a nasty case of covid followed by 5 miserable days driving home. Good choice to let your buyer come get it.

 

Probably old rope

 

Some of that cheap Chinatwine.
