[AT] PA/NJ Hauling help needed

[Mike Sloane]

1. My trailer isn't a flatbed - it has 1' high rails on the sides, and I 
would have no way to get the tractor on. 2. the fronts are also out to 
7' (and cannot be moved without torch and other heavy duty tools), so 
the problem isn't just the rears. 3. about half the trip is on a very 
very congested and heavily traveled (and heavily patrolled) Interstate 
78. 4. There is no way to remove the tractor at the destination if it 
were blocked up.

But thanks for the idea anyway; we are still looking for help.
