    why can't you just drive it?

    Or didn't you get a drive off tag?

    Have you tried UShip.com? Anyone can post a load on there and get bids within hours.
    Or you could call any of the major flatbed companys like Mercer Transportation or Anderson trucking, TMC or Maverick.
    The only way your gona be able to ride along is with someone bidding on Uship. All the major carriers won't allow passengers.
    You will also need to know how tall it is. If over 10 feet, you will need and RGN otherwise you could get by with a stepdeck. Stepdecks will run you around 2.25 per mile. RGN will cost around 4 dollars per mile. Some steps can carry up to 10.5 high.

    The problem with the truck is that it won't accelerate. At first it bumped up to 60mph then in seconds it gets lower like 30mph then bumps up again like to 50 mph but 5 Minutes later gets Lower and does that in a pattern but then everything I try don't help and even though I apply pressure to the gas pedal its not strong enough to increase the speed I could press the gas pedal to the floor and the speed won't increase. But now its worst and now sometimes it stalls and dies in traffic and is hard to start back up. But 1 thing I don't understand when I leave it off for a while it gets strong but then when I start driving it and lose power and cant accelerate much. Now it cannot even go 20mph so I can't drive it. I tried fixing it in town but they never solved my problem. And I changed my fuel filters but its still acting up. But when I first changed those fuel filters it was strong and ok but later it got back to the same way it was. Don't know the problem and that's why I can't fix it

    Also I tried contacting auto transport companies but they never came to come pick up my truck. I'm suffering right now I purchased this vehicle at Jackson Minnesota and to get to Albert Lea it took me a long time. Mechanics in Albert Lea don't work too much on diesels so it is very rare to find someone to fix it.

    I took a risk driving from Jackson Minnesota to Albert Lea. There was some places where I had to do 15mph to 30mph on the interstate and sometimes even lower. Sometimes I had to pull out to the side when its gonna die. A lot of trucks past me like I was standing and there are going so fast that I was scared and it was a risk because it was very dangerous. I also passed by a plaza and there I talked to a few truckers. There was a flatbed driver helped me to go check my truck and he told me maybe it was the fuel filters but it wasn't. Most truckers did a lot to help and I really did appreciate that
