Need to get a quote on shipping an engine from CA to Texas. Anyone have a good experience with a particular shipper? Terminal is ok.
Thanx |

QUOTE(underthetire @ Mar 26 2009, 02:30 PM)  check greyhound Central Freight Lines is all over California and is running a promotion on freight going to Texas. If you can't get a good quote let me know and I will try and pull some strings for you. |

Best price anywhere that i found...
...but i hope you are not in a hurry. I searched and searchd a found the place YRC freight, door to door. Less than half the price of fed ex. But there was a merger recently and they are a few days behind, which means if you schedule a pickup for today they will pick it up 3 days later (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) anyway, call shanon at freight 88 he is most helpful ... tell him joseph from baltimore recomended him (he will never believe it) 1-866-944-8819 joseph |

 I sent a huge crate full of wing from TX to CA and used forward air. They have a terminal out by DFW and verry easy to work with. I would use them again for large oversized/heavy items. |

Hook up with someone who ships as part of their business. Regular customers get big discounts.

I use FreightQuote for all my engine shipping. Always hassle free and very reliable.
