Quote this load.

Hell, we are all just doing the best we can. And sometimes we take it in the ### once in a while. I am in no way a big time player. I’m just one man trying to do the best I can. To be fair I know my lane and try to stay in it. I’m just a simple equipment hauler and I try to stay away from anything over 15 wide and 15 high.

 

I kind of ran off what we did a while back on a load similar to that. Wyoming wasn't bad. We were 16.2 tall 16 wide. We weren't quite that heavy either. We also ran it north instead of south and ended up south of Dillon Montana That would be a $48,000 load in my book.

 

I guess I should clarify one of the reasons why that price because they wanna run two pilot cars, one being a high pole.

 

And you have more problems. I see over on the hall of shame, your dog is cheating on you with some guy named Joe Rogan. Sorry to be the one to have to break the news to you……

 

I’m just a company hand but I have moved quite a few loads of that size, even out of Washington. I can’t speak to the price, it should always be higher right? But I have a couple of observations.

If the load is only 40k sending a 70k pound 7 axle after it is the “wrong” equipment for the job. I’m guessing that’s a big 60/65 ton stretch step without the jeep and booster. That’s going off our 55ton rgn and 4 axle truck only weighing 50k empty.

We would haul that on a two axle stretch step or DD every day of the week. Maybe even one of our regular 2 axle step decks depending on actual dims. Sending 25-30k pounds of too much truck is not the customers issue, and should not effect the rate. It might make the rate to cheap for your equipment, but it’s the wrong equipment to begin with.

At 16’6” you might need WA patrol depending on which way you go. Stright over into ID and I dont think you need them. Down 82 into OR you definitely will, it will be a night move, and require three escorts in OR. Good luck getting a wa super load permit or any OR in less then a few days.

In December I moved a 16’7” from wa to sc. I don’t think we had a route survey in TX. 3 state patrol on the two lanes in UT, then cops in ga and sc.

 

that she is but I understand

I am a difficult person to out up with

 

Well if you ever get to pleasant grove again I’ll buy dinner and drinks to help you “get past the humiliation”

 

I will take you up on that!

 

looking to get my 9 axle out of utah. Think we'll bounce.

 

I would NEVER book a load with an out of the country agent. Also I don't book loads from the DAT load board, when I did I never booked a load with a broker that I didn't know. My broker list is very short.
