I've got (2) 20' loaded containers from LAX to JAX

Without knowing what they weigh, you must either plan on two flatbeds, or plan on having equipment to load one and go weigh it. If it is under 22,000 lbs, one truck may be able to take both, but you do not know for sure until you weigh the other. That means that you have loading equipment tied up, and if you do need two trucks you will need both of them lined up.

I think that the way that I would approach the problem would be to try to find a towing outfit in the LA area that could go and load one, weigh it, and then take it to their yard. Repeat for the second one. Then, after you know the weights of each you will know if you need two trucks or just one. The towing outfit will be able to load the trucks. They may be able to drag them up on a rollback truck, depending on access. Otherwise they will need a crane or big wrecker. It is doubtfull that a forklift large enough to handle the weight will have room to manouver. You may want to have a google image of the location available, with locations of the containers drawn in if not on the image, to send to a towing outfit in order to get an estimate.

On the Florida end, you will need to arrange a time that the truck(s) will be there, and have unloading equipment available at that time. Again, a towing company may be the best bet on that end.

 

You can get both containers on a single flatbed. You can even find a 40' hotshot to haul them. Total weight should be around 10k. Any towing company with a rotator can load them.

Edit; I missed that they were loaded. Unfortunately you'll need to know what they weigh. Nobody can really quote a proper rate without knowing.

 

Some cranes have scales so they know the weight of what they’re lifting. If you could find a crane company that had them I think I would pay for them to come lift each one and get the weight of it. Then you’d know if you need two trucks or one. You’ll have to pay twice for the crane to come out, but really don’t know any other option. No trucking company will let you load two containers with no idea of the weight.

 

I don't know, but @Diesel Dave might. A big enough boom truck may work, but a heavy duty wrecker definetly would and they probably have trucks available to throw the containers on.

Also, since you are close to Long Beach there must be lots of can haulers that could run them to get weighed.

 

He said they are loaded though, but didn't know the weights.

 

I totally missed that! Not sure why I thought they were empty.

 

Or what they are loaded with?????
