Unfortunately Teams are not very prevalent in that most oversize can only run daylight hours so teams don't help much there. However as I mentioned earlier in another post not all Wind is oversize so that might be of some help to you. Just off the top of my head I'd say check with Anderson, Lone Star , Bennette and maybe Daily. Everyone is struggling right now even the Wind Power Carriers because they have to keep everyone busy not just the wind drivers. Good luck. That's pretty much just a guess.

Good luck.

T. Boone Pickens has placed his first order for five hundred of them, for his new Wind Ranch. His plan is to emplace twenty-five Hundred or so. That means they've got to be moved by somebody. It takes about (wild guess) ten or so trucks to move ONE windmill. Believe it or not some of it, a lot actually, is NOT oversize. Speaking of Windmills.
