Scrapping tractor trailers

My first thread was deleted, I searched and introduced myself. If someone deletes this one can you please message me and let me know what I am doing wrong? Thanks

I have a friend I am trying to help get out of debt from his failed business. I scrap part time, generally smaller things but have a truck and trailer for cars and larger things. He has 2 tractor trailers that are very far from roadworthy. I am looking for tips on how to get them to the yard. I've cut cars before but these things are built like tanks. Thanks

Might be better to have the scrapyard come and get them and pay you guys from that. Less hassle.

if there decent enough, you might sell them to someone for a storage building, lot of farmers like them to keep hazardous stuff away from the farm shop. Lot of other folks just looking for a cheap building.

First are they flatbeds or what?
Do you have torches?
Do you have any equipment?
How big of a trailer do you have?
We need more details. Personally i would come in with my skidsteer and shear and cut it up.
