Well, then you are going about the U-Haul thing all wrong. A U-Haul TRUCK cost $.69/mi. A U-Haul TRAILER is a flat fee. You have a truck. I assume you have a hitch. If not, spend $15 and get one, it will probably come in handy again. There you go. Problem solved.  :cheers:

Horseboy, you're a genius, I can't believe I didn't think of that myself.  I guess sometimes I get wrapped around the details.  Looks like I'll be renting a trailer!  Got the hitch already!  Thanks.  :cheers:

horseboy:
Just make sure to check the inside dimensions of the trailers. They still may not be tall enough to stand them up. So, if they aren't tall enough, make sure it is long enough to lay them down.


BTW, you mind telling us what cabs you are driving 600 miles to get?

Does it matter?  If it fits, it fits.  I am making the assumption that they made it to their final destination a-ok.

Correct, and thank you. The Dynamo was MAME'd and is sitting right behind me. The Zaxxon went another 120 miles up to my buddies house. I could get 4 in standing upright, but I had to unload these myself (is that impossible too, Paige?  ;) ).  They're much easier for a single person to unload from this position rather than upright.
