Need to move a wrecked M1074 from Dublin, VA

[FASTNOVA]

I have a wrecked M1074 that needs to be moved out of Dublin, VA and moved to a repair shop or possibly transport to CA. If someone can assist in getting it out of there it would greatly be appreciated. The frame from what I have been told by the tow truck driver is bent pretty bad and if it were to be put on a flatbed as is it would be over width so he recommended the frame be cut and it loaded in 2 pieces. The owner of the tow yard said that he would give permission to cut the frame, but whoever will be doing the work would need to sign a release of liability. If you know of anyone that can do the work please PM me.

Thanks
Daniel

Just a little off subject, but WTF happned to it???

Is this an articulated vehicle like a loader ? If so can they straighten it out into a straight line ?

It was bit by 2 big rigs.
This is not an articulating truck. The frame is bent.

Thinking out loud, does the value of the few salvageable parts exceed the transportation costs to CA?

It's more of a sentimental value.

Whats the rest of the story if I may ask? If I'm being rude I'm sorry.

Better don't ask... It's a VERY SAD & TRAGIC story; let's leave it at that.

I'm slotted to return to the US for a course in May and it looks like we might have weekends off. If so, it's about a ~4 hour drive to Dublin. I have no idea what a commercial outfit might charge but I'd be happy to devote a day and a half with a torch (mine is in storage so you'd have to provide) and see what I can do.

Once it's cut into manageable and straight pieces, what're the next steps? Out of curiosity, what's the approximate price to have it delivered to CA?

Yes, as I read down the post and noticed the location and then the pictures....was wondering when someone would ask.

I'm Sorry to all affected. Had I known I would never have asked. Again I am deeply sorry.

It's okay. If you didn't know, you didn't know.
There's a whole lot of emotion tied up with that truck.
