Default Towing...

...my favorite subject. Having done many long hauls both in compliance and not in compliance. I should say that you would need a minimum one ton truck towing a tandem axle trailer with 10,000lb gross rating to be in compliance, (u-haul trailers are 6500lbs gross and I believe 3500lbs load , so out of the question...legally ) . I have a few friends that drag tractors all around North america to shows and sales and they say it is really tough in the states now. With one ton pickup and bumper hitch trailer they must stop at weigh scales in the states . So either have all your I's and T's dotted and crossed chained and blocked and proper axle weight and balances or you are likely to have trouble.
Use a car hauler business, they quoted me about 500 US to move a pickup anywhere in the states a couple of years ago, pretty cheap. I might add before you phone know the dimensions and weight exactly, I doubt they will have your vehicle in their computers . YOu might want to include the height with the cab off , if applicable, CMP's are pretty tall.
