Hey guys, I bought a '93 W350 dually extended cab truck the other day. I am looking for some help on getting accurate dimensions of it so I can relay them to the shipper. And if anybody recommends any certain shippers let me know, otherwise I'm just gonna check u-ship.

Thanks in advance for any help.

 

My 92 ex cab dually is 8' wide-20'6" long hope this helps! Can't believe a shipper doesn't know roughly what you have.

 

Where did you buy it from? Is it running?

 

Probably going to need the height as well. Does the truck have stock size tires, lift kit etc?

 

I didn't add height due to too many variables. Same with weight. Any one in the auto transport business should know all this unless it's a hotshot type hauler. Runs/drives it would be cheaper to load a buddy and go drive it home!

 

Thanks for the info guys. Yea its a runner/driver and all stock, but hasn't been drove much in the last few years. Its a 1-owner rig and he just passed away. Might be able to hit the road but as always maintenance is unknown so without going all over it and servicing everything it's probably safer to trailer and a few tires are sketchy. Its up in Wisconsin, just under 400 miles from my door in southern IL(close to St Louis MO). I did some quick math and running up there with my trailer and pulling it home I'm thinking I'll have $250 in fuel, and probably another $100 in food and misc. Not to mention it would probably max my trailer out and that could be opening up another can of worms. I already have a shipping quote of $450 so I'm weighing options at this point. Thanks for all the info guys.

 

If your looking at less then 400 miles Just drive up and drive it back alot easier then trying to trailer it .and unless you find a cheap unlicensed company it's going to cost you more then 450
plus being a drw they will want to charge you more for being to wide for there trailer.

 

I agree...400 miles is not bad. Go up there with a friend in another vehicle...load up all the tools, fluids and things you think you could need...and drive it home. It will make it.

I drove my crewcab home over 400 miles...through high mountain passes too boot. The truck was in unknown condition, but I figured what the hey. Made it fine.
