From what I gathered when I shipped our family truck from here to Kentucky, and from when it was originally shipped from Michigan to Washington, the luck you will have trying to find someone depends on how many trucks/drivers come through your area. They depend on backhauls since they never want to be empty, so the farther away from a major area you are, the longer you’ll have to wait for a broker to find a guy.
That guy or gal will vary wildly. The truck wasn’t running when it came to me from Michigan, so a guy did everything…had a winch to pull it up, and rolled it off the trailer for me. After that I was on my own. Next time when it was running, I got some sketchy Russian dude who just about burned up the clutch trying to get it on the trailer to Kentucky, until I basically forced him out of the cab and did it myself.
Be very clear to the broker exactly what you have, and let them know that they’ll be on the hook if a driver shows up that isn’t up to the task.
I made the mistake of doing an online form to find a driver, which led to HUNDREDS of calls from random guys, even months after I’d told them the truck was gone. Find one broker, call them on the phone and let them do the work- the online thing is a dumpster fire and it creates one hell of a headache. Sorry if that’s not the answer you’re looking for, but it was such a debacle that I had to post something.
