I was trying to buy a used GMC transit bus, and I called a company for a transport quote. Never heard back from the transporter, and anyway, someone else got the bus. Could any of you haulers hazard a guess as to what it would cost to transport a bus? I realize many variables are in play, but as an example, transport a used transit bus that can roll under its own power, but is not roadworthy. Oklahoma City, OK area to Dayton, OH area. When I was a transit bus mechanic, the company that towed ours used what was essentially a ramp trailer. Like a flatbed wrecker, but a tractor trailer. I'm just curious to know. Again, just a ballpark to get a better idea of what money I'd need to transport a bus when the next one comes along. Thanks!
It was a Landoll like this most likely like glide said. Not sure what the bill would be to go that distance. A lot of tow companies own them. Probably best to call around.
Yours is small enough to be hauled on several types of low deck trailers. But for a full size bus, you gotta have a special bus hauling trailer; a regular Landoll is too high. See Traileze.com for pics of a bus hauler.
Yes but unless you load and unload from a dock - you aren’t getting it up your ramps. And if it is dead you likely don’t have a winch to get it on or off. Sometimes using a trailer built for a purpose is just better
