About to have a sailplane shipped Via Uship from the Northeast to the Rockies. I have two options so far One contractor who uses a flatbed trailer and a few bidders who are just going to tow the sailplane behind a truck. A soaring buddy advised against the flatbed due to ride concerns. Seems that this might be a bit unfounded because there would actually be two sets of suspension working (If the glider trailer were secured by its axles and tongue). Ive seen cars on flatbed tow trucks jump around a bit but not on a flatbed trailer. Anyone have comments or experience with this?
Thanks

How is he going to get the trailer on the flatbed? I would like to see
that.

I recenly shipped a glider across the US in its trailer on a flatbed
trailer.
We used a tow truck with a tilt bed to get the glider trailer up off
the gorund then backed the flatbed trailer up to the tow truck and
rolled onto the flatbed trailer.
I found the transport company on Barnstormers.
It worked great.
