Trailer towing service

May need a trailer towing service to move a trailer from Houston to Ft. Lauderdale. Any suggestions as to a company to contact for this?
  • FWIW, Uship will give you a number of bids for the service. I was looking at moving a ~30' FW, < 10k lbs, and was getting bids from $2.50/mile on the high end to $1.99 on the low end. Ended up not buying the rig and just decided that I'd spend the money on a certified RV inspector local to the rig I'm looking at, if out of state, and go get it myself if I make the deal.

    Contact the Escapes RV club for advice.
  • If you apply online, don't give them a real phone number. You will be deluged with calls for months.
  • Make sure your insurance covers anything that might happen. I watched a guy with a delivery sign on his pickup make a wrong turn with a trailer and scrape off one of the leveling jacks. He never stopped, but I did and picked up the pieces. Then I followed him down to one of the local RV dealers. Turns out he was delivering a brand new unit to them and hadn't told them about what he'd "run into along the way".
  • Check with Local RV Dealerships.....

    And is it a TRAILER (Bumper pull) or a 5th wheel?

    Make sure you are clear on which one it is.
