Jerry I just hauled a 100KWA generator home on a car trailer figure the
weight at about 8K pounds so you might try that if you can get them to load
it. With a forklift. Sorry but I'm on the left cost so too far to really
help.

It on the East Outerbelt side of Columbus. Everything
except the last 12 miles to my place, it is on I 70. I
live on a major state route, so it's an easy run. I
can cut the miles down, but I don't like running on
residential roads and gravel roads with lots of
weight.

Jerry.
