    I was wondering if a hot shot could haul a broken down tractor. If not, besides towing, what would be an alternative? Low boy?

    How tall is it?

    I would be mostly concerned with will the truck sitting on a trailer fit under the over passes..........

    It's a standard Cascadia I'm buying at an auction, so it must be around 13'3" to 13'6". It's a 300-mile short haul.

    High rise/sleeper trucks are marginal on a step/RGN.

    Flat towing/wheel lift would be preferable.

    Diesel shops around here that have a rig of their own tend to have something like this :

    Truck Parts and Components For Sale | www.protote.com

    May want to check with the action house if they have a supplier to transport it.

    Does it not run? I'd drive it if it does. If not, maybe rent a RGN or maybe even a Landoll if the height pencils out.

    Don’t be cheap, just have it towed.
