I need a recommendation on riggers in the San Francisco California area, need a vertical mill loaded on a semi truck headed to Nv.

I'm sure Lawson is qualified, its just with value of the machine, its just not worth it. Crap machines in vegas and slc sell high, decent machines probably have fairer prices, but out of the budget I want to spend. I've passed on several pretty nice $1000 auction mills in california in past few months, but they are always on the western side of state, makes it a 10+ hour drive each way. With the current situation in big cities, I'm not eager to go.
I'm looking at a Gorton 1-22, looks clean, coming out of a University, probably worth the $1000 they are asking, I realize I may never get more than that for it, I would gladly pay reasonable transport fees and accept that as a loss to have a vertical mill in my shop.
I strongly recommend Lawson, they've done multiple very complex moves for me, first rate outfit.
I have a really nice picture of a $400K mill turn they tipped off the skates half out the door of a high-rise freight elevator. Sadly I can't post that one. I'm only 2 for 3 having clean moves with Lawson despite their premium pricing.
Is it in San Francisco proper?
I may have some deck space in a few weeks.
Where in Nevada, I have to cross it east to west at least 2 more times.
What does it weigh?
UC Berkeley, technically Richmond, they can load, but experienced guidance would be a big plus so they don't dump it. I'm north of Ely, but you probably are not going that route. How far are you coming across I-80? I know there is a freight terminal (forklift) in Elko which is about 120 miles north of me, have not looked at other towns on 80. Manual (not exact year model) states 2800 lbs, fudge it and say 3000. It would need to be picked up by Sept 17 at very latest (delivery on your time schedule of course), let me know if this fits your route/timeframe/ load space.
Wells is a bit closer, no idea if there is a forklift to transfer a load in Wells. Another member here has informed me that Richmond should be a relatively safe area, if I get this thing I might just have to make the run myself.
Call Satellite and they will easily get you a truck--> Nationwide Full-Service Tansportation Services | Satellite
