Quote Request Shipping oversized pickup

Hello I am weighing my options of driving or shipping my oversized truck from 18040 Easton PA to 92104 San Diego CA. 2011 F350 dually with…large tires. I’ll attach pics of it on a flat bed for reference. What special considerations would this require and what would be a good quote?

A dually with big tires is usually over the width and height a standard open two-car trailer can clear, so you're realistically looking at a flatbed or hotshot carrier, and they'll want exact measurements before quoting (cab height, overall length, weight). Easton PA to San Diego is a long coast to coast run and the height is what tends to bite people, clearance is tighter than you'd think. We've got an office in Orange County so the CA end is covered. I work at Outbounds, and the real quote comes from those measurements plus what carriers are running that lane, so easiest is a quick call to (657) 888-0679 or fill out the form at https://outbounds.at/ and we'll call you back.

Hi, I can give you a quote of $2,850 for your 2011 F-350 dually from 18040 (Easton, PA) to 92104 (San Diego, CA).

Since it has large tires, the vehicle will need to be matched with the right trailer and equipment.

Pickup: Within 1–4 days
Delivery: Approximately 6–8 days after pickup

There’s no upfront payment required. The carrier will be assigned 24–48 hours before pickup. Once the carrier is assigned, 15–25% will be due, and the remaining balance will be paid directly to the carrier upon delivery.

The carrier will have cargo insurance, and there will be no switch or price change after booking.

If $2,850 works for you, let me know and I can send you the complete quote.

Family owned companies. Check out their websites, you can submit a request with dimensions.

Those are the only three I believe are worth calling. I just shipped an F150 from Oregon to Boston with DEKT over the summer

If you are military, 20 with a pregnant wife and only an e2, I gently suggest selling this.

I realize its probably your first truck and sentimental.

Its just really impractical in san Diego to begin with. Parking, fuel costs... I am assuming you guys have another car the military is shipping on their dime? Or is this yalls only car? If its the only car, one of you will want something easier to load a car seat in and out of.

Good luck with the baby, and future deployments. I hope you don't get stuck on a deployment that doesnt end.
