Help!!!!

The 53 F-750's paid for. The transport company appears to be no longer in business. Any one got an equipment trailer in the Iowa area? I was prepared to pay the transport company $1400 for hauling her out to Oregon, but I can't get a hold of them. If there is any members interested, or capable, PLEASE let me know.

Are you willing to go pick it up? If so, check out U-haul, they rent car carrier trailers you can haul the truck back with. Might be cheaper than a transit company.

A 750 would take a large trailer and tow unit to haul, probably still cheaper and more convenient hire.

U-haul does not have equipment for a F-750. I'll check the uship.com. All I want is to get her to her new home dang it. The mint front fenders are what's keeping me from just driving it. Since replacements do not exist, I can't risk "the other driver" not being too cautious.

Mount a snowplow OR a BIG bumper. that should remove the unknown factor.

You might check with a major shipping company in your area (flat bed semi trucks). They sometimes haul stuff back when they have an empty trip home. With fuel costs like they are and empty trip is a huge loss.
