So I did some go karting last year. Frickin awesome they were only 9.5hp briggs but still cool. Going to step up to the kt100 class at the local track. I bought a go kart thats up in Michigan about 500 miles away from me and need to ship it down to me. Anybody have some good cheap freight companies.
He's in Alpena MI and that about 250 miles away from the nearest forward air, so thats out of the question.
It needs to be a residential pick-up.
I also check out Uship but the cheapest is $400 so far.

And for me to pick it up would be 1000 miles round trip in my durango, thats about $200 in gas and 16hrs drive time.

Thoughts, ideas, suggestions. It would be nice to get it here for $200 or a little over. There has to be some company out there.

I would crate it and use a company like Forward Air.

Check craigslist to see if you can locate someone that has an empty trailer, or ??? going your way.

Make sure you can ship the fuel tank with your freight forwarder. Ground transport probably not an issue, but air would most likely be a problem.

For air transport, I always use Senderex. Residential pick up.
