Title: To Kansas City.....then beyond!?
Post by: scotty_vince on December 22, 2010, 03:38:03 PM
    How much to tow a 4104 from Nashville,TN to Kansas City,MO. This is not an emergency, Just trying to figure out my options. If anyone has an idea it would be much appreciated, Thanks.

Call West Nashville Towing (615) 350-5800
Or Hippie's Recovery Service (270) 442-0030 or 443-1367
If it were me I'd ask about them using their Landoll  (equipment trailer) that way they don't have to run air lines or pull axles/drive shafts. A 4104 is short enough they won't have a problem with being over height!
Or you could check with your local wrecker service and see if they could do it.
Also a local trucking company that runs step deck trailers might be able to do it as a back haul!
That's the beauty of the older GM coaches they can be put on a step deck and hauled rather than towed because of their height & length!
FWIW ;D  BK  ;D

Scotty -

Roughly around $3K minimum, plus standby time.

Why not just drive it???

FWIW & HTH. . .

I was quoted $160 an hour for a landoll tow last fall if memory serves.  I would guess the rates might be lower for a longer trip.

My need for a tow was for a 20 foot enclosed trailer.  The tow company initially was going to use the landoll, but it was out for the entire day by the time I got all my arrangements made for another trailer.  The tow company used a flat bed wrecker instead and the trailer stuck out a ways off the bed.
