Department Trailer Move Requests
Transportation Services understands that departments occasionally need assistance moving trailers. Please remember that any department-owned, leased, or rented vehicle or trailer used for University business must comply with all applicable federal, state, and University requirements.
When a department purchases, leases, or rents a trailer, the department is responsible for:
- Scheduling & paying for required maintenance and inspections
- Maintaining compliance with applicable laws and regulations
- Ensuring the trailer remains safe and roadworthy
- Providing qualified personnel and appropriate equipment for transportation
Example:Ìý
If a department purchases a trailer, that department is responsible for making arrangements to transport it, including securing a suitable tow vehicle and qualified operator.
These responsibilities do not automatically transfer to Transportation Services. While we are happy to assist when possible, our ability to move trailers is limited by vehicle availability, staffing levels, operational priorities, and scheduling constraints.
Fee:
If staffing and equipment are available, Transportation Services will make every reasonable effort to assist with trailer moves when sufficient advance notice is provided. Approved trailer move requests performed by Transportation Services will be charged a flat rate of $150 per move. A valid SpeedType must be provided at the time of the request. Additional charges may apply if special equipment, extended labor, multiple trips, or after-hours service is required.
Please note that Transportation Services has limited tow-capable vehicles. When Transportation Services is unable to support a request due to operational needs, departments should be prepared to arrange for a rental vehicle or third-party transportation solution.
