Legally moving a wrecked trailer to a salvage yard or from one?

If the lights & brakes work & the tires are good, there is no reason you can't pull it as long as nothing is falling off going down the road.

 

That’s what they invented night for. Give er.

 

I’d do it just do it at the right time…. I also think that there is some allowance whether technical or just common sense if you’re going to a “repair facility” which in this case is your yard.

 

Yeah something I learned over time is if an insurance company can find some technicality to not pay the claim they definitely will.

 

I would be very cautious about that. I was tasked with doing the same thing one time, our solution was to cut the axles and landing gear off and use a forklift to load it on a Landoll. The sides, roof, and floor are the frame of a van, if they are damaged the trailer can fall completely apart while going down the road.

 

What exactly is wrong with the trailer you are moving? We are exempt for primary tows or "emergency moves" as directed by law enforcement. A secondary move is not covered and technically we have to follow all the same rules you do. But you do what you gotta do, van trailers are not strong, had some pucker moments more than once.
