Get ahold of 73M819. He does drive aways for a fee and a plane ticket home

Unfortunatly I do not. I never have had anything shipped. I used to have a tractor and would haul my own stuff but I sold it not too long ago. You could try U ship, but I have heard bad things and good things about shippers there. Can the truck be driven? I might be willing to go over it with a fine tooth comb and drive it out to you in Novemeber, for the cost of the fuel, lodging, and a ride home. I have never been to Texas. Is it a m900 series? Or an older 5ton?

Or as wheelspinner said, ask 73m819, he is retired and could probably do it sooner.

its a m923-0 with a rebuild in 09 runs drives fine according to the seller. i pmed 73m819 as well. Trying to see if its even feasible to bid on it if the cost to get it ehre is too much i'll probably have to pass.

Shipping you're probably going to be somewhere between $2 & $3 a mile if it requires an RGN. Cheaper if they have a dock to load it on a step deck. (Verify the height and it won't be over 13'6" tall on the step.) Then where it's going you'll need a dock or possibly find somebody that has ramps if you do go with a step deck.

Call Kris from Big Sky Carriers out of Missoula, Mt. Also, it will also depend the place it's loading. I haven't dealt with them in many years but they used to be pretty good. (They're brokers)

Make sure you know if where it would load. If a business where they can load pretty much anytime will be cheaper loading at a military base with inspections and back ground checks etc.
