Can anyone tell me what type of trailer would be able to transport a car hauler tractor 750 miles other than a rather expensive heavy wrecker? The tractor runs and drives, ten ft tall, forty feet long, weighs about 25000 lbs. Also any idea what each might run rate wise? Thanks for any info you can provide.

may i ask why you would need to transport it if it runs and drives? gess a wrecker would run about 3000, a specel haller/trl may run even more or you may need to brake it up at the knocl and get wto low boys $$$ all that is why i ask the ? to start

It is just a tractor with a headrack, no trailer. The truck is at copart because the previous owners trailer caught on fire. I don't plan to register the truck for quite a while or insure it. I just need the tractor here to cut the headrack off it. Thought maybe a lowboy or landoll trailer could haul it here but I don't pretend to know anything about a kind of trucking I have never done. Towing companies have quoted me 250-300 per hour from the time they leave their yard until they return. 1500 miles round trip= bend over! The truck sits low to the ground and the fifth wheel is behind the tandems about 6 inches off the ground.

Most wrecker company's should have access to a what is known as a Landoll trailer. They may have to flatten the tires on the car carrier to get with in legal height but, a Landoll would be the way to go.

If my memory serves me a Landstar BCO would get 77.5% of 98% of the linehaul plus 100% of accessorial charges and fuel surcharge

We don't run out that way but, we would have been about $3250.
