Where is the ski located in VA?

Edit............. Never mind I checked the zip. It'about 1hr from me. When does it need to be loaded? Is there a terminal it's at? Who's the shipper?

I've got a local shipping company from North Dakota going to haul it. it's possibly going on a regular flat bed semi trailer. If that's the case, it would need a lift (forklift or skid steer or whatevers handy) of some sort to pick it that high. They mentioned it could be hauled on a drop deck, in that case I'd think he could back it up the side with a ramp of some sort or maybe 3 guys could weasel it on. But the trailer is up in the air because they are trying to find a load it can ride with I guess. I'm going to call their local boat dealership and see if they could do it but he says they are kinda tight with their favors at that place.

Sorry I forgot this part, there is no terminal it has to be done at. The truck will go to whatever address we need him to aslong as its feasible. Also the time frame is really open and in the trucker hands if I go that route, if they say they found a load it can ride with on a certain day then that's the day they can do it I guess.

Did you find a way to get it yet? Maybe have someone strap it down to a sturdy pallet?
That way they can use a roll it around. Hopefully they send someone with a liftgage
