Default Flatbed trailer to transport fire truck from Detroit to Montana

The title sums it up pretty nicely! I need to have a 30' fire truck moved from Detroit, Michigan to Missoula, Montana (directly right off I-90).

Time frame is flexible.

What's the height of this fire truck> that a very important dimension. Assuming ( i hate that word) that the fire truck is legal width (102") over size permits should not be required. Is there a dock @ both ends to load and unload this item OR are you requiring an RGN/float to move this piece?

I've been told that the height is 12' to the top of the deck gun and that the vehicle is 9 feet wide. I'm not sure if those measurements are exactly accurate or not. I do have some photos if that would be helpful to estimate.

That's great info!

12' high requires an RGN/float and 9' in width requires permits UNLESS it is the mirrors that fold in or come off.

Any idea of the weight? (should have asked this question before..)

The mirrors may fold in - I'm not sure. Sorry I don't have more exact info!

The weight is also an estimate, unfortunately. The GVW is 31,180 lbs but that must be FAR more than what the vehicle weighs without water. My estimate is closer to 20,000 lbs.
