Don, maybe he should do what you and I do- - - - -hook up the truck and trailer and go get the machinery ourselves. That's how I'm planning to get a 20 foot CONEX container full of engines, and a big lathe from Texas to Tennessee. The 24 foot gooseneck I just bought, and my F-450 flatbed truck should handle it nicely. I just hauled a big flycutter cylinder head mill and a power jet washer on my 18 foot bumper pull trailer, with a combined weight of around 8K pounds.
