    Okay, I've been on here for quite a while now and am just now being approached with a situation like this.

    We have 2- 2007 Kenworths that we have purchased out of Livermore, CA. I'm being asked to get quotes to have the stacks removed and units decked.

    Full disclosure, never done that before and I'm completely lost as to who I even start getting quotes from. Would I need more than the height and length of the 2 units? Deer in the headlights, please help.

    I have no clue as to cost. Might try calling your local dealer and see if they recommend a drive away company. Otherwise google and start calling.

    I'm sending a driver out to pick up the unit but I honestly have never had to do anything like this before. Thanks so much for the responses.

    If I google it, what exactly do I google? I sound so lame right now.

    Would it be cheaper to just send 2 of your drivers out to drive the trucks back?
