shipping weight of 14' 5ton bed question

[steelcaptain]

I am contacting brokers to get quotes for transporting the bed I bought in Montana to Western Washington and do not have a true weight to give them. Based on the experience of others here, what is an accurate weight for a bed with bows, seats and canvas to use?



also, if anyone has any leads for brokers or any independents here looking for a part load going west, I am open to any suggestions.

thanks in advance for the help

I'll keep this in mind, but a starting and a ending city will be helpful. There needs to be a big forklift at both points.

loading at Belgrade (Billings area) and drop would be in Mt Vernon. Forklifts at both locations.

btw, do you have the weight for the bed? I've heard between 4000 and 4500#.
