I bought a 6080 and am meeting the seller in indianapolis. he has a drop deck and i will be in a straight truck. Does anyone on here know of a dealership that may have a dock that i can load at? His trailer is not one that we can drive over the rear tires.

thanks in advance,

Derek

the roll back's are a great idea. I think I'll try the auctioneer first though.

thanks guys.

They usually call in a roll back to unload test trucks and equipment at work. Hard to find a dock the right height and close by...

When I bought my D-17 from Washington State, It came on a deck over trailer. The truck driver unhooked from his trailer, I backed my trailer under his, used a pair of short ramps and drove it off of his trailer onto mine. I don't know if that would work in your situation or not. Dave.

I talked to the auctioneer, he said it would be fine to use their dock. That's right where we were wanting to meet. thanks for all your help.

If that deal falls through there is a heavy machinery moving company that is owned by an A-C guy right off 70 on West Street which is directly South of the football stadium. Can drive there but forgot the guys name, sorry. Maybe somebody else here knows who I am talking about?? Anyway he has stored and loaded heavy A-C parts for me in the past and seemed happy to do it.
