[FC] Towing a Greenbrier Van on Flatbed trailer. Need Advice.

Sun Sep 30 14:55:29 EDT 2007

Hi All:

I need some advice about searching for a trailer to
haul my Greenbrier to local state inspection facility
here in Massachusetts. I was considering on having a
local towing company haul it with there flatbed but
there prices were high. $150.00 to go two ways. Going
and coming back to the same location. Second I have to
wait for the inspection to take place for there are
other veichles that are being inspected and are going
to have to wait as well. The kicker is that the towing
company will charge $75.00 per hour to wait and I have
no idea to how long I will have to wait. My thinking
is that looking for a trailer to  rent and haul the
Greenbrier would be cost affective, but I can't seem
to local one for it to rent out. I did check the local
rental companies like Herts, Uhaul etc but they have a
load limit to the weight of the trailer being 4000 and
4500 lb.s The greenbier is 4600 lbs. Towing it will be
no problems with the chevy 2500 pick up.  I need some
ideas so that I can get my Greenbrier on the road and
to register it.

Thanks
