    About 10 or 12 I'd say. Only 200 are out of town.

    Look for a local flatbedder and make frames yourself.
    And how will they be loaded?
    What time frame?
    These are just a few questions , there are more.
    You need to do some homework.

    I know all of this. Just need trucks. Looks like I'll be jailing a frames back and forth. Lol thanks for the input.
     
  6. So rough estimate 14 loads.(with 500 slabs) 12 per A frame. Six per side three A-Frames front middle back.

    All I can suggest is getting ahold of a broker or trucking company. Have them
    Post your loads. Unless you goto a local flatbed outfit in Atlanta. See what they will charge you on one-way or round trip. Expect under $2/mile. Figure your diatance,. See what your transportation costs will be.

    If your not hauling long distance, a truck with two trailers. Could go back and forth in no time. As long as it's an experienced driver. Granite is no joke, don't let a rookie haul it. Period.
