It would be hard to make a truck with a wheel base that short 4WD. You would have to squeeze a 4WD transfer case between the transmission and the rear drive axle. These trucks are extremely short wheelbase to aid in maneuvering the homes.

He absolutely is! Granddad starting him right. Thx for watching

Yup mine is 20 years okd

I would hire him today to move by mobile home now it's been 2 years, can you imagine how good he would be now with this experience and probably many more like under his belt?

@@josephlivengood4508 I wonder how much of a cost would it be to move a 12×64 oversized trailer for 20plus miles? I just purchased one & gotta move it.

Form another Toter driver. Awesome job!!

It is a specialized field and those that do it work extremely hard, tearing it down was only h as of. After navigating all the roads and traffic they had to get on a new lot and set back up. They definitely have my respect. I wondered why they did a few things when they were doing them but soon learned they knew exact what to do. Grandad was letting his grandson learn and no better way than to get in the seat and do it! Very specialized trade

Tearing down was only half of it*

I am trying to "learn" a little as I will be having mine moved in a few months. I'm assuming I will need to take everything out idk how this works. My husband wants to pour a concrete pad..I'm completely lost. I just know I want plenty piers and double strapped or anchored somehow. I purchased it sitting on a rented lot for now until my property is ready. The only positive is my property is approximately 6 miles from where it's sitting now. I'm nervous and want to learn what I can now. I watched another video where a lady was having her double wide moved but they Didn't plastic down each side it was just wide open..I would like mine covered with something to protect it. I don't know if thats extra or what.

I like what these guys are doing allot better than what your doing. Maybe you should go work for your dad, he could teach you how to be as good as him.

I appreciate your beautiful spirit! The guy moved his mom into it on his property about an hour away. It worked our for both of us. Thx again for your beautiful and positive attitude! Thx for watching, Dave

Thx I appreciate it and glad you found it useful. Hope your move was as successful as this one! Thx for watching! Dave

You have a dream and you need to catch it, dreams never chase you back. Figure out a way to get a loan and it would be the best decision you ever made. Making yourself rich rather than working for some else making them rich is priceless. Everyone that is in biz for themselves started out just like you. If you have the skills that can make you money then you need to make it work. Research SBA loans (small business administration) and if not they can steer you to other ways. Good luck and thx for watching! Dave

That makes perfect sense I never thought of that! I appreciate you watching and providing some positive insight! Dave

I've been asking about how much will it cost to move a 12×64 for 20 plus miles. I just purchased one & gotta get it moved.

They are a very neat concept, this one wasn’t taken care of by previous owners and had many water leaks that caused more damage than I was willing to fix. I only have 25 acres and that’s relatively small tract of land in this area, most have 50 plus. Thanks for watching!

We had a very wet month prior and they did an outstanding job with the wet conditions. I came across condescending and that was not my intention in any way but just my delivery made it seem that way. These guys were professionals in every way and granddad let his 18 year old grandson drive and I was much more stressed than either one. The best way to learn is OJT and if granddad didn’t think he could turn right out of drive he certainly would not have. I still think the trucks should be 4x4 but maybe that’s not an option. That is a specialized trade and hats off to them.

You can get 90ft long in Texas and 18' wide is the biggest.

Georgia's Best Mobile Home Service. They were in and out in 5 hours!

Precision Movers is the best on the Gulf Coast.

It was approx $5500, they moved it about 25 miles and set back up.

@@bdradley1 was the set up including electric water set up as well. Any recommendations SC area

@@bdradley1 geez, I was expecting $15k ….. pretty cheap

Trailer isn’t paid off yet though

It needed work. New roof, front door, kitchen window leaking and had rotted wall and floor. Cabinets had been hacked up to make room for bigger fridge so they needed repaired. Shower leaked and rotted wall. Infested with carpenter ants. It still had good bones but needed several thousand dollars out into it which I wasn’t willing to do when my priorities were on fencing and a barn. I sold it for $6000 but the purchaser was responsible for moving, permits, set up at new location. By the time it was done I think he had about $17K in it. Very reasonable for a house in my opinion. He moved it on to his personal property to put his elderly mother in so he could watch over her.

It was moved about 45 min away in a normal day but probably took them about an hour and a half just bc of size and slower travel speeds. They tore it down, transported and set back up for approximately $5500. They didn’t break down by miles. They did it all in 1 day. Very efficient family owned company. Hope that helps

@@bdradley1 not bad im trying to move mines like ten miles away!! But the mobile home park its trying to charge whoever moves my house $9,000

@@jaritzarios816 wow that’s terrible! Are they doing that just so they can get some money out of the move? Is it your home or does the park own it?

Great inf, so is about 1k per miles that they charged?

They did the same here and it was about $5500 but that was about 2 1/2 yrs ago. Good luck with your move and thx for watching! Dave

It was, unfortunately the property sat vacant for many years and the trailer house suffered from no maintenance. It needed a new roof, new front door, the window in kitchen was leaking and rotted the wall and sub floor, the main shower was leaking and the walls were all molded in bathroom, it was infested with carpenter ants, wasp, and lady bugs. From sitting unlevel for extended period the roof inside had started to crack and kitchen light fixture had fallen as result. The kitchen counter and cabinet were butchered to get larger refrigerator in and both decks needed rebuilt, and I’m sure I’m forgetting something . I didn’t have the money to put in so basically donated it to someone who had the finances to rehab it. Thx for watching

I’ve heard moving a mobile home costs about $4000-$5000

Depends on the companys costs, what type it is and tongue type (bolted or welded). Also depends on the type of home it is (single or multiwide (double/triple/quad ((yes theres more than just double and singlewides)) and the removal and transport of attachments to it such as porches/balconies + steps, condensation units. Also depends on the distance its being carried, so if you were to want a single wide moved 20 miles that would range between $4k-6k (varies between companies)

I never did see them lift it but he said the hitch on the truck would move up and down as well as left and right a total of 4 feet. Very ingenious! Wish I had seen it. Thx for watching! Dave

I didn’t move it myself. Georgia’s Best Mobile Home Service did the work. You can contact them directly or another mobile home service in your area. Thank you

No idea, I bought the farm with the house already on it. It would have been nice to keep but I needed my money elsewhere on the farm so she had to go. Thx for watching! Dave

Pretty much in any rural county, around major cities they are typically not permitted unless they have already been there and are grandfathered in. Once you get away from major cities they are typically permitted but depending on the city, they will have different requirements. For example: it has to be a double wide instead of a single wide, it has to be a minimum square foot, etc. They have “trailer parks” where you set up your trailer permanently and just lease the spot year to year. I’m just outside Atlanta and there are several parks around the metro. Some are super run down and then others are very nice up-kept. Mine was moved off of personal property onto another piece of personal property but could have been moved into a park. It was around 1900 square ft inside, 3 bedroom 2 full bath. Hope that helps

Must be nice we don’t even have one 😂

@@nightlampss447 23 years established you'll get there 😉

House cats are necessary when the driver isn’t that great. 😎 I haven’t needed one. They might be handy but for 100k, I’ll just keep my 100k and be a good driver.

@@waltflansburg5608 our drivers are excellent, but there are times when a house cat or platypus are needed in tight quarters. We move for 11 dealerships we never know what obstacles are ahead of us. We don't do secondary/individual moves, the dealerships keep us too busy

That's so true. Anything will last as you take good care of it. It's all about maintaining.

My uncle would bury it.
