Title says it all, there is a wrecked dry van sides collapsed in and strapped together.
It pulls decently strait, brakes and tires are good but there is some floor damage etc.
I want to pull it 40 miles to my house from the salvage yard in Missouri. Do they make permits for this, do they only allow registered towing companies to do this etc?
Curious because its an almost new trailer that shares a lot of parts with my current trailer...
Legally moving a wrecked trailer to a salvage yard or from one?

A towing company must be able to drag it over …even if it’s not registered or insured.

Had a shop foreman who was going to make a flat bed out of a van that had been on its side.
Sounded like a good idea started cutting back to front.
Got first side off when he got just in front of landing gears floor buckled and fell onto the ground.
Off to the scrap yard when he finished it up in a dumpster. -

We have all seen wrecked trailers being towed down the road,,no way we could get away with that. Its not even kosher to move a trailer with caged brakes unless its a emergency to move trailer and hauling a trailer 200 miles to make a on time delivery does not qualify as emergency regardless of what dispatch tells you.

We moved a vacuum collapsed tanker from NJ to the repair facility in Berwick, Pa. sucked in and twisted but 7 0f 8 wheels touched pavement and the lights worked...no problems. Hale trailer moved a low-bridged van back to their shop, kinda looked like a convertible...
