I need semi trailer mover about 10 miles

[jrobinson5093]

I friend out mine near gave me a semi trailer and my deuce is not ready yet to move it. I need it moved about ten miles. The reason a OTR semi cant do it is that I will need to bring it down my ditch. I dont think it will be any problem for a 5 ton tractor or bigger. Is their near me that could move it for me. If not I will just wait and finish my deuce tractor conversion. It will be slow but it will only be a few miles. Im in Jakin, Ga. zip 39861. This is the trailer.

Not much ground clearance on the trailer. Could give a challenge. Sure someone could get it where it needs to go. Good luck.

God bless,

Once I get the air bags pumped up and get it up on the fifth wheel I think it should be a few inches higher.

Looks to me like you are going to have less than a foot of clearance even after your airbags are inflated. Those trailers are known for being low. Are you planning on the tractor dragging the trailer over the high spots or what?

Wish I could help, but a 380 mile round trip to move a trailer 10 miles is a little much. Hope you can get the help your looking for.

There is not really any high spots to go over. And Md that's what im running into with every one. But no worries I will Just finish my tractor conversion and bring it home or find some one near by with a fifth wheel dolly and use that.

I got the fifth wheel bolted down today and I went and picked up the trailer and moved it myself. It was no big deal. But I tell ya when you put a load on a mutlifuel with 5 inch open stacks, it gets loud.

Good job. Glad you got it moved.

 

[jrobinson5093]

Me too. I gonna use it for storage and a work shop. It has a 110 ac unit and lights inside I figure it will make a decent work shop.

I'll bet it was loud, and that you had fun doing it, all the way.

 

[jrobinson5093]

It was fun, But im glad it was only a few miles. A full size semi trailer really shows just how small the deuce really is though.

I hooked my M818 to the trailer today and moved it around the yard some. The truck handles it way better than the deuce. I know the trailer is empty, but it was a load for the deuce. On the back of the 5 ton, it feels like nothing.
