From Dead Class A to Certificate of Destruction in 14 Days — What a $9,000 USA Federal Junk Removal Contract Actually Buys

What You Get for $9,000: Dead Class A Motorhome Removal, Start to Finish

A dead Class A motorhome sitting in your driveway isn't just an eyesore—it's a legal liability, a code-violation magnet, and a $20,000 asset that's now worth zero. USA Federal Junk Removal charges $9,000 flat-rate to remove it completely in 14 days, and that price locks in everything: pickup with commercial equipment, EPA-compliant destruction at a licensed facility, your Certificate of Destruction for the DMV, full title handling, and $2M liability insurance. You can finance it in-house at roughly $150/month over 60 months, zero interest—no credit checks, no bank hassles. One signature, one price, one problem solved.

Here's exactly what that $9,000 buys, line by line, so you know where every dollar goes and why cheaper options always cost you more in the end.

Day 1–3: Scheduling, Route Planning, and Equipment Dispatch

The moment you call 405-698-4285 or lock your quote at /get-it-gone, the 14-day clock starts. USA Federal has hauled big assets since 1993—Class A motorhomes, semi tractors, mobile homes—so dispatch already knows what equipment you need. A dead 40-foot Class A requires a lowboy tilt-deck trailer, a semi tractor rated for 25,000+ pounds, and a crew trained in load-balance regulations.

Most tow companies won't touch a non-rolling motorhome because the liability is too high and the permits are a nightmare. USA Federal handles the route planning, oversize-load permits if your rig is over 8.5 feet wide, and coordination with local traffic enforcement if the haul crosses state lines. You pay nothing extra for permits or escort vehicles—it's baked into the $9,000.

Day 4–7: On-Site Pickup with Zero Property Damage

The crew arrives with a lowboy trailer, hydraulic jacks, and steel skid plates. They'll winch the motorhome onto the deck even if the tires are flat, the axles are rusted, or the frame is sagging. The $9,000 includes up to 4 hours of on-site labor—plenty of time to maneuver around tight driveways, remove low-hanging tree branches, or disconnect old utility hookups.

What's covered:

  • Hydraulic tilt-deck loading (no forklift damage to your driveway)
  • Detachment of any external propane tanks, slide-outs, or awnings
  • Cleanup of fluids that leak during loading (motor oil, coolant, black-water residue)
  • Temporary driveway protection mats if the ground is soft

One customer review: "Very professional and completed the job fast. They had my 38-foot Winnebago loaded in under two hours and left my driveway cleaner than they found it."

If you're not home, the crew can work with a property manager or neighbor—you don't need to take a day off work.

Day 8–10: EPA-Compliant Destruction at a Licensed Facility

This is where the $9,000 separates USA Federal from the $1,200 Craigslist guy. Your motorhome goes to a federally licensed auto-destruction facility, not a shady scrapyard that'll dump the shell in a desert wash.

The facility:

  • Drains and recycles all Freon from the roof AC units (required by the Clean Air Act)
  • Extracts motor oil, transmission fluid, brake fluid, and antifreeze for proper disposal
  • Removes the battery, tires, and any mercury switches (headlights, dashboard gauges)
  • Shreds the aluminum frame and fiberglass body into recyclable bales

Your $9,000 contract includes the facility's environmental fees, which can run $800–$1,500 depending on the size of the rig. Cheap haulers skip this step and bill you later when the EPA comes knocking.

Day 11–12: Title Handling and Certificate of Destruction

USA Federal processes the title paperwork for you. If you've lost the title, they'll file for a duplicate with your state DMV—no extra charge. If there's a lien from an old RV loan, they'll coordinate with the lienholder to get a release.

Within 48 hours of destruction, you receive a Certificate of Destruction with:

  • The VIN
  • Date and location of destruction
  • Facility license number
  • USA Federal's signature and $2M liability policy number

This is your legal proof the motorhome no longer exists. You'll need it to cancel your registration, get a property-tax exemption, or prove to code enforcement that the vehicle is gone.

Day 13–14: Final Walkthrough and $2M Liability Confirmation

USA Federal sends you a final email with the Certificate of Destruction, photos of the empty pad where the motorhome sat, and a copy of the $2M commercial general liability policy that covered the entire job. If your HOA or county inspector needs documentation, this packet closes the case immediately.

The $2M policy covers:

  • Damage to your driveway, fence, or landscaping during loading
  • Third-party injury if a crew member is hurt on your property
  • Environmental cleanup if a fluid spill exceeds the crew's containment equipment

No tow company or junk hauler under $5,000 carries this kind of coverage. When something goes wrong, you're the one facing the lawsuit.

Why $9,000 Is Cheaper Than It Sounds

A dead Class A motorhome is 12,000–20,000 pounds of fiberglass, aluminum, steel, rotting wood, and hazardous fluids. If you tried to haul it yourself:

  • Lowboy trailer rental: $450/day (3-day minimum = $1,350)
  • Semi tractor rental: $200/day + commercial driver ($600 total)
  • Oversize-load permit: $75–$300 depending on route
  • Landfill tipping fee: $85/ton × 10 tons = $850
  • EPA disposal: $800–$1,500 for Freon, oil, black water
  • Title paperwork: $100–$200 if you hire a DMV service

DIY total: $3,900–$4,800, and you're still doing all the work, risking property damage, and hoping you don't get pulled over for an illegal load.

USA Federal does it for $9,000 with zero risk to you, or $150/month if you finance it. That's less than the property-tax penalty most counties charge for an abandoned vehicle.

Lock the $9,000 Price Before It Goes Up

Steel scrap prices, fuel surcharges, and EPA disposal fees change quarterly. The $9,000 flat-rate is locked only when you sign the contract. Wait 60 days and the same job could be $10,200.

USA Federal covers 38,000 cities nationwide and has hauled for AT&T, State Farm, Chick-fil-A, and Frito-Lay since 1993. If a Fortune 500 company trusts them with a dead semi tractor, you can trust them with your motorhome.

FAQ: What the $9,000 Contract Covers

Does the $9,000 include hauling from a backyard or behind a fence? Yes, as long as there's a 12-foot-wide access path for the lowboy trailer. If the motorhome is completely landlocked, USA Federal will quote a crane lift separately (usually $1,200–$1,800).

What if I don't have the title? USA Federal files for a duplicate title with your state DMV at no extra charge. You'll need to provide a copy of your ID and sign a lost-title affidavit.

Can I get same-week pickup? Yes, if you're within 100 miles of a major metro and the calendar has an open slot. Call 405-698-4285 to check availability. Rush jobs (under 72 hours) may carry a $500 expedite fee, but that's still cheaper than a code-enforcement fine.

⚠Required notice
Licensing varies by city & state. We do not claim to be pre-licensed in every jurisdiction we appear to serve. Where local permits/credentials are required and we can't reasonably obtain them in time, we sub-contract a properly licensed local operator. Mobile homes, motorhomes, RVs & campers: Portland OR, Vancouver WA, and a growing list of cities now require certified asbestos testing before haul or demolition. If a sample comes back hot, abatement adds thousands in cost and unlicensed handling can carry up to one year in county jail. We do not haul around the law — we comply or we hand off.
