Sounds funny from where I am sitting, but I feel your pain

Is there a need to put blocks under the back of the container to keep the bit that's hanging off from dragging?

Think "lincoln logs".
If you look at the front of the box where you see those frame rails that were torched off? You can see the timber stacked for the frame rails to sit on them.

Here's hoping they did the same midship and at the rear of the trailer to balance the load and give as much supporting as possible.

I sure hope they did criss-cross chains or straps for and aft.....

Ideally they should also have 2 up over the top - just like you can see on OTR 'skateboards' AKA flatbed 18-wheel trailers.

and sitting...

Sadly I just realized 2 things:
A) the weight is not distributed evenly. It still need to be slid a ways forward.
B) the axles look to be 5 lug....

Wondering the same! The guy was bragging up and down that he does this stuff all the time for his job and he has SOOOO much experience with big stuff like this. I've heard that song / dance from about 16 other people who have tried to get these before over the years (this is actually the THIRD one I'm getting rid of) and only one guy got it done without issue.

Here's hoping it leaves your property with zero issues + zero damage + zero injuries & they make it home with it safely too.

YES hoping for the same!!
Honestly, as long as he can get it off the property without it tipping over, we'll call that a WIN! Once it's off the property, it's 100% his problem.

B) the axles look to be 5 lug....

Ya, I'm trying not to think of all the ways this could go wrong

Now I'm just imagining him pulling out of the driveway and the whole thing tips over the second it's off your property

Has anyone showed up with a flatbed towtruck?
