MACKTRUCKS4 Posted April 3, 2013 Author Share Posted April 3, 2013 its only a single axle go get with a gooseneck and a 1 tonNo, it's a tandem. Not a bad idea but would take too long and it's my busy season with spring coming any day now. LOL Quote Live every day like it's your last, because one of these days, it will be.

thomastractorsvc Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 I looked at the pictures again hard to see but i can see the rear axle, it is 2000 miles from there to KC, hope you can find some one to do it for less than 6k, I was going to get a tandem in TN, which was about 550 miles and it was going to be around $2700, so I started looking for a heaver GN trailer, mine only has 7k axles works good for single axles but I did not want to chance it on a tandem that far Quote Robert"I reject your reality and substitute my own."

Any ideas welcome.http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/cto/3715885592.htmlTrying to be cheap doing that things happen. Just easier and probably less headaches staying on the same truck. Also. Wouldn't it be cheaper to buy one closer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slpwlker Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 It's good looking for sure. Even at ltl rates gonna be more then the price of the truck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jdiesel25 Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 i thought about having this truck shipped but i think its going to be way too much to have it shipped, unfortunately its a nice truck and you dont come across trucks like these often.

The price is right but of coarse it's on the other side of the planet. TBone- what kind of trailer are you looking for?

Gmerrill0516 Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Great price for the truck. You got a deal! enjoy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slpwlker Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Probably around 5k if they can load other stuff with it. Idk I might be off +or - on that. All in All 8k between the truck and transport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mack mhe9 Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 5k is about what I came up with.and finding something to go with would be hard out of that area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsb502 Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Hardwood or logging equipment coming back east is your best bet from up there, problem there is space, Ray is your drop deck a 53'? I cant remember, I got a friend with access to a 48' step deck but that B would probably kill to much room on it for partials. Also check with oil field equipment coming east to the ports from N.Dakota or mining stuff from Wyoming, also a huge UP rail yard in North Platte Nebraska, always something to move for a railroad.Just thoughts off the top of my head, if your not in a hurry someone should be able to get a load going west but the trip back may take some time to line up a couple partials.

mack mhe9 Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Yes it's all about logistics. He would have to hold the truck till you find something. I really would like to go get it. It's just the time involved, out and back chasing down other freight. I'd have two weeks in it. Just a thought for the money to ship it, have it sent to a Mack shop go through it brakes, seals, fluids, fly out Cruz that bad boy home and take a lot of pictures.
