Tires rated for much lighter cargo are the reason a sailboat sitting in a Douglas County barn has not moved in three summers. The owner bought a general-purpose rig years back, fine for a jon boat, wrong for twenty-six feet of fiberglass and a full keel. Guessing at capacity on a highway trip is how axles fail forty miles from anywhere useful.
My crew runs Omaha jobs with our own truck and trailer, rated for the hull instead of guessed at, and we haul it door to door from the barn to wherever it settles next. Bennington and Elkhorn sit on the same route, and oversize paperwork is ours before we roll. A boat bought without its paperwork sorted can still be moved. Details on the Nebraska boat transport page.
