[TowerTalk] How Do I Schedule a Freight Pick-Up?

[Bill Gaines]

On June 29 my LM-470d was destroyed in a wind storm. I immediately started looking here and elsewhere for a suitable replacement. I found a couple but both were on the left coast and both indicated the buyer would have to arrange shipping. I have since found others closer to me but still the same thing about me doing the leg work on locating a shipper. I finally decided to replace the old tower with a new one also being shipped from the west coast. My reasoning was that since they do this full time they must have shippers waiting at their door to pick things up and haul away. I am told by the manufacturer that the tower is completed and is awaiting pick up by a trucking company. I have been told this story several times now....waiting on a company to come to pick it up. My question is this. Where do I go to find a flat-bed truck that will pick this tower up in California and bring it to me in Ohio?

There simply must be a reasonably quick way to get this done.
