Been thinking about towing my truck back to Kansas City to get worked on, it is in Fort Lauderdale FL right now. Anyone know a company that does this? I see some semi trucks that have the attachment to carry a single truck. Not sure who does this or if it is just something people do on their own equipment? And if this is done will need to get a power only company to pick trailer up and deliver as well.
Any one have some thoughts on this idea or know people that do it?

@brian991219 may be able to recommend someone.
Siinman Thanks this. -
Didn’t this happen a couple weeks ago? I’m surprised to hear it’s still broken.
Siinman Thanks this. -
I would tow it as soon as I'd see the first sings of inability of the local shop to identify the problem or if it required some crucial and expensive repair but on which a lot of things on the truck would depend on. Most likely it would cost me something close to 10-12 grand - for 1300 miles. I dread a situation like that but that's the risk I take when going too far from home.

Another possibility is if you know someone willing to bobtail down there and can find a fifth wheel lift to rent.

if it's a Midroof you might be able put it on a Trailer..

it would be a lot of miles, but if you find someone willing to do it. -
If its just a bobtail and a midroof you could likely find a hotshot with a lowboy to yank it. It would be cheaper then a wrecker otherwise if you have another truck just rent a 5th wheel lift. If it has a trailer thats likely going to be a split yank. Thats going to be at least 4 or 5k minimum
Midwest Trucker and Siinman Thank this. -
I did not file until Monday afternoon since I was waiting on the quote and still trying to get the tow company to pay for it. It has turned into a #### show for sure. The shop is qualified to do it at least .Speed_Drums Thanks this.
