    Not quite a normal tow truck. A roll back with at least a 20 ft deck. And normal rates are 50 to 75 an hour. Round trip of course

    Ok

    I will do my best to confuse you...

    Guys used to do this in CA with a 40' and a 20' container (empty) from long beach to Oakland. The 20' loaded in the front and 40' overhanging in the back. This only worked because you were allowed overhang based on a percentage of the length of the piece - less than 50% of the length, if I remember correctly. I hauled a couple like this but we are talking about the Stone Age - like 1990's.

    I believe a set of 28' pups could get 3 20's by overhanging front and back on the rear trailer.

    I have not seen this done in a long time and never as an interstate load.

    Maybe I haven't seen enough rates for over dimension loads, but for what I have seen, I'm thinking you could ship these on two different trucks cheaper than you could put them on one. Even if you found a legal way to do it.
