The Challenge
A client needed to transport two heavy-duty Ford F350 trucks – a 2012 model and a 2013 Dually – from Lincoln to Houston, Texas. Both vehicles featured extended crew cabs, box bodies, and dual tandem rear axles, making them particularly challenging to transport efficiently and cost-effectively.
Vehicle Specifications:
- Height: 6.37 ft.
- Weight: 10,500 lbs. (per truck)
- Length: 18.9 ft.
- Width: 6.65 ft.
