Thanks Gary but I don’t have any full time posts available. Our unit is a race car transporter and we only use it about 10 times a year. Been sorely let down at the last minute by a driver and need to get unit back to France asap.

You need to get the unit back to France asap ?

You never had one in July ? But you use it 10 times a year?

Hi. I’ve just bought a 12 metre boxed trailer unit and am on the hunt for a tractor unit. In the mean time I need the trailer moving from it’s current location in Somerset to my address in France. Is there such a thing as an ‘owner driver’, if so can anyone point me in the right direction of where to look?

I hope it’s ok to post this here.

Thanks for your replies. The trailer is legal, having recently passed it’s MOT. It will be empty when coming over. I’ll have to get back to you on its exact height but I know it’s legal for European roads. It’s a dry box and not refridgerated.

I’m looking into have it delivered to Poole then coming over unacommpanied on the ferry, but would like to know the cost of it being brought over. Is this the right place to see if anyone is interested in quoting for this type of work?

I can guess why the driver let you down, but don’t worry some mug off Facebook might do it now :laughing: :laughing:

‘articulated lorry (semi-trailer and truck)’ :unamused:

Having experience of selling off double-decker box trailers the race team trailer fantasy is a popular one. I often drive past one that was purchased for this reason unmoved in the same place in a field where I delivered it to over 5 years ago now.

Pretty much given up selling trailers on ebay one or two, out of a hundred, would be buyers will have suitable business premises for it to be cheap outside storage or genuinely have the ability to convert it to take tractors to shows, or something.
