Need backhaul information

How big of a fire truck? Most I have ever seen hauled are overweight, which requires permits.

 

You need to get more info before you talk to any company about the rate. Width and Height, and Weight are important numbers. Map the miles also, it's question one to a driver, right before bottom line. My son has looked into moving a couple of different cars from online sellers and it usually hasn't been do-able.

Over 102" wide is oversize. Height is manageable with a stepdeck or drop trailer but over 10' you can expect the rate to go up.

 

I think someone is dreaming at $8K, but $4500 sounds about right if its a legal load.

 

Probably the biggest hurdle will be loading and unloading. Is there a dock @ both ends? If not you will require an RGN and they cost more.

 

So you want somebody to haul it for free?
There is No such thing as a backhaul.
Glad you got the fire truck to help out the area.
Just remember you get it hauled cheap it might not be in good shape when and if you get it..

 

Try uship. Do yourself a favor, stop using the word backhaul. Makes you sound cheap, and many of the smaller trucking companies consider it a dirty word...

We gotta eat too.

 

You have just made the job easier and much more cost effective for yourselves then.

A firetruck with those dimensions is a walk in the park. When you do find a truck, please ensure that it has sufficient cargo insurance to cover the value of your shipment. A simple fax copy and a call to the insurance company to verify coverage will suffice.

Good luck to you and congratulations to you and your dept on your purchase.
