I don't believe you'll find a commercial trucker who is willing to pull/tow the trailer home for insurance reasons. I have asked and been told just this. You will probably have to get it loaded onto a trailer to get it home. Now, if you can find a guy with an M818 or M52, they might be willing to retrieve it for you...but, with fuel prices what they are, you are gonna pay one way or the other. You will probably have to pay for a wrecker to lift the M270A1 onto the bed on the trailer that comes to pick it up. Hiring a wrecker for such a task is not cheap either. I hope you got the trailer cheaply.

Renting a single screw tractor is probably the cheaper route

so your the guy that bought that trailer. I was watching that thing and considered buying it but I've already got one and it was missing the landing gear if I remember right.
I could do it for you but your looking at about 1500 for mileage + 1200 for fuel.

Last year, one fellow member here offered to pick up my M270A1 trailer from GL for me. It did not go well. DOT pulled him over and gave him a long list of citations and then put the rig out of service on the side of the road. Your best bet is to load it on a commercial trailer like Bruce suggests.

I don't remember the details, but the list was long and thorough. $1200 in fines IIRC.rmgill said:

in this case I have a legal 270A1 and I can use the tag and insurance on the tractor covers anything I pull.
heck if it bothers you that much I'll just stack the 270 on my 270 and be done with it.
