Hauling a Roadtrek 190-P Across the Country

Yes, the guy contracted to do it thought he could do it, until finding out that the load would put him past what he was licensed to carry. It is not that a 190 Roadtrek is particularly heavy, considering that many of these small car haulers carry two or three cars at a time. The price might be higher to carry a partial load on a larger rig, though.

There's a hauler somewhere who can do it, it is just hard to find the right carrier unless you work with an agent who has enough connections. A lot of this hauling is done by very small companies or lone operators, using agents to match up with trips and loads. Because most of this business is for moving used cars, one of the larger used car dealers in your area can probably come up with an agent who can make the connections with the right hauler.

Yep +1

I agree. The first hauler, assuming it was a tractor trailer rig, probably had multiple vehicles already on the truck, or more to pick up and the driver may have made a business decision as to which vehicle stayed and which goes.

The first carrier was given specific dimensions. Length, width, height, weight, etc. The carrier even called me to verify and I went out and tape-measured the rig for them.

I was wondering if anyone had specific, experience-based information. I have Google, too, and when you speak on the phone to someone they can do anything, anytime. When the rubber meets the road (so to speak), it's a different story.

Have the buyer contact a specialized hauler- give them the dimensions and weight of the vehicle.

I live in Phoenix- this is car-auction month and the roads are literally clogged with car haulers, open and enclosed.

I-10 runs from CA to FL so this shouldn;t be too tough, but it will cost.


One of the pitfalls of buying long distance is the shipping.

Try another carrier such as Reliable. There are plenty of them out there that can haul Class B's. All Pleasure-ways are delivered on trucks, not driven, to dealerships across the country and Canada.
