Someone told me that UST provides just such a trailer for customers
buying towers. You get a one day permit for it from DMV. You should
be aware that if the total length of your towing vehicle and trailer
exceeds 40 feet, you need a class A drivers license (like truck
drivers have). When I moved a 26 foot long 4000 lb tower, I rented
a flat bed truck because it was just too much weight for my van
to go over the Grapevine.
