"Haul of the Week" Tiny House Edition

Happy Thursday! We have decided to try something new! Our upcoming blogs for the next month will consist of "Haul of the Week." This will go over one in particular transport that we did the previous week. Whether it be a tiny home, travel trailer, or heavy equipment load, we are excited to share our journey throughout the many different units we deliver.

This weeks haul of the week is a custom tiny home designed by New Frontier Tiny Homes/David Latimer, along with the craftmanship of Liberation Tiny Homes. This beautiful tiny home is roughly 40 feet long and 24,000lbs sitting flawlessly on a quad axle tiny house trailer. The design on this tiny home is very similar to the "Escher model which can can be viewed at https://www.newfrontierdesign.com/.
Luxurious, modern, and just out right gorgeous, there is so much more to this tiny home than it's looks. Although everywhere we go with this hooked onto our truck, heads are turning as if a celebrity walked by.. It is an attention grabber, that's for sure! The open kitchen, and large master bedroom makes it feel as if it is not so tiny after all.. The opportunities are endless when it comes to tiny homes and that is why so many American's are choosing the tiny lifestyle. Are you thinking about going tiny?

Upon arriving to the pick the tiny home up, we already had our route mapped out along with our estimated stops planned. This keeps us on track for a smooth sailing trip. When John arrived at the pick up location in PA, the first thing he did was a quick safety inspection confirming the tiny home is roadworthy and safe. For units coming directly from a builder or manufacturer, the inspection doesn't typically take as long as if it were coming from an individual who's tiny home has been sitting for 4 years. Then, it was time for him to get loaded and hook the gooseneck trailer to our Dodge. It's as simple as lowering the tailgate on the truck, backing the truck up and getting it into the proper position so that the ball is centered underneath the coupler on the tiny home trailer. And then, secure the trailer down onto the ball using the jack system. Each trailer is different and may have other steps involved. After that John is able to latch the pin and attach all safety chains and cables accordingly. Another safety check list/pre trip inspection was completed, and then it's almost time to roll.. The last thing to do is capture a few photos. Our customers love receiving photos of their tiny homes getting ready to hit the road.

It's go time! Our driver John is ready to begin the journey. The overall trip is around 1,700 miles from Pennsylvania to Texas.. The scenery in the Northern states such as Pennsylvania is stunning. It is definitely one of our favorite places to pick up and deliver tiny homes. You may wonder "1,700 miles, how long will it take to get to Texas?" For us professionals, this trip took around 2 full days. John was able to pick the unit up on Friday morning, and deliver Sunday. Like I stated previously, this comes down to planning and mapping your route! We always make sure our customer is ready to accept delivery of their tiny home before just arriving on site. Staying in communication can really make a difference for everyone involved on all ends. Once he arrived in Texas with the tiny home we were able to coordinate a good time for meeting at the delivery site. Parking a tiny home can be challenging depending on the location selected. Upon arrival to the site, there were a few obstacles but nothing that could not be handled! After cutting down and trimming up a few tree branches, John was able to park the tiny home and maneuver it right in the perfect spot for the client.
