We are planning on moving using shipping containers to pack everything in. I have large workshop, household items, tractor and implements. I estimate 6 forty foot containers. We will use the containers to construct the new workshop after the move. A couple of the containers will weigh more than the others (workshop stuff).
My Idea is to buy a 5 ton wrecker and a 40 foot pintle hitch trailer. I want to avoid the CDL/commercial truck complication. It is about 600 miles one way. The wrecker would make clearing land and moving containers a lot easier. I have time on my side but......
1. Will that truck tow a 9000 pound container on a 40 foot trailer + contents
2. How hard will it be to avoid CDL/Commercial regulations. What is the best way to buy the equipment needed
I would really appreciate any guidance to get this done.
Thanx
