Does your truck have a DOT number? If not, you might get by with the DOT exemption I use....FMCSA Exemption 390.3(f) (see attached). FMCSA Exemption 390 3.pdf

Welcome to the forum! Reading BMT for over a year? I guess you don't make quick decisions or maybe it was Barry's free shipping offer.

Hey Leversole...you could have flown to NE, picked up the Superdog, drove to AZ, picked up a pup trailer, and delivered the trailer to PA!

There goes my Christmas present!

Maybe he will get another Nobel Peace Prize! (gag me!)

Nice trucks. As for the nice people part we are just nice to newbies. After 200 posts it is "open season". Just kidding...welcome and enjoy the craziness.

Price dropped to $8000 per trailer. They have two (2). Anyone interested in a 28' drop van (102" wide)? However they don't have a converter dolly. Anyone coming from west to east want to pickup a trailer....I am cheap but willing to pay $1000 transportation to PA...you can pickup the trailer and use it to transport a load. Any takers? Thoughts? (other than I'm a cheap SOB)

Or how about this...

I think it depends on their training.

This is similar to double taxation. What do you expect from the government?

Aren't electronics fun?

No one said you had to use it! Afterall you have the camper to tow behind it. I definitely want to see a pic of the RW and your camper.

twins or quadtruplets?

After guns they will outlaw trucks.

Dumb a$$ cows.... What were you doing out in the middle of a pasture?

Did I miss something? What White Road Commander????? But 10-4 on the good lookin' ride!

Nice Superdog. When do I get to take a test drive?

I don't have a hood...what does that mean?

Window licker? Hmmm.... But I bet things would be different if you saw a U!

Keep that thought Vinny for a llllllong time! And I tend to agree, she is not that attractive but I would not kick her out of bed unless there is more room on the floor. BTW, is that a pumpkin behind the U? And when are you going to replace the driver's side mirror bracket?

From experience or just price shopping?

Just be careful, they may be spring loaded. Wonder how much was paid for those "presents"?

I can't rent a tractor as I am a private individual. Ryder and Penske will only rent corporate. Been there tried that! But thanks for the suggestion.

No, you would be giving them a vacuum cleaner and refrigerator!

Before I commit to buy another item, I am going to post this message and get opinions. I am considering buying a 2005 28' drop van that is in Phoenix, AZ. The dealer made some inquiries to transport the trailer to PA. The quotes are just under $4000. The listed price of the trailer is $9500. So that makes the asking price of this trailer $13500 with transportation. I roughly calculated the fuel cost to be ~$2000 if I picked it up myself. This is not a trip I would want to make this time of year. The trailer is within my budget (on the high side) without transportation. But transportation blows it out of the water. 28' drop vans (especially rust free ones) are hard to find. Comments, suggestions?
