    Guys please recommend someone who can take 40 f container out of port of LA. Need someone one soon.
    What are the rates for this kind of job?
    There are two cars in the container and two drivers will drive off right away as soon as it's out of the gates.
    Please advise name and the phone number.
    Thank you Gentleman

    You would need a rig that can drop the container on the ground, the trucking company that specializes in that will quote you a price for the whole thing.

    Expect to pay a high price since your a one off run not a constant lane.

    I am betting there is a towing company close by that will be fairly reasonable with a rollback. we load cars like that pretty regular. My neighbor does with her roll back anyway, I just help. lol I have some 20 foot aluminum ramps, but the roll back is handier by far.

    You might be able to have a 70 ton rotater show up and do a dead lift the box off the frame onto the ground, when the cars are out of there, dead lift the box back the chassis under and THUMP. All donel
