Hiring someone to move a trailer?

[Shiffz]

Hi folks, this may be an odd request, but here goes...

I am buying a brand new boat trailer in Buford and need to get it up to Gainesville (16 miles) and load a boat into it. It then stays right there in the marina parking lot. I need to do this on Monday, but I don't have a tow vehicle available to me then.

Anyone by chance interested in helping me with this? I'm happy to pay you for your time.

Again, the trailer would be empty (except for the retrieval up the ramp), so real easy.

Please feel free to PM me.

Thanks!

Rent a truck for the day.
U-Haul, Penske, and a few others have trucks that can tow.

Thanks. I called a few places and they didn't have available vehicles (for Monday), but I'll try some more.

Its going to sound crazy but try Facebook if you're on it. Maybe look at the Forsyth county board

Rent a pickup at Enterprise for the day.

They say they don't allow towing with their trucks but they have receivers and wiring for towing on all the Dodge trucks on their lot.

Nowhere on the paperwork did it say "no towing".

I did this and moved a camper. Just inserted my hitch and towed away...didn't tell them that was what I was doing. Looking at the receiver it was clear that I was not the first one to tow with that truck.

Uhaul rents pickup trucks that are set up for towing.
