What company might be the best for shipping a trans axle, as far as price goes?

Greyhound SUX! I had to use them when I lived in Harrisburg, but you can ship via FedEx ground (like I told you in the PM) for $90 coast to coast). Easier, it goes to your door so you dont have to deal with the Greyhound terminal monkeys. Plus, there are many more FedEx terminals around than Greyhound ones.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) To each his own, and most likely it comes down to what your local places are like. My local Greyhound is great, they work with me regarding routing and have not had any problem. After using my local FedEx a few time they have refused to ship transmissions via regular "Ground" service unless they are completely crated up and then they want me to us their freight service which is more expensive.

I however don't think you can use any single shipper for every situation. The downside to Greyhound is that they are not a full service shipping business so you loose some things like online tracking.
