I need to get a 3.0L six from Las Vegas to Eugene, OR (or Portland). Sender will crate or palletize it and deliver to a shipping terminal. No rush...just looking for the most affordable solution. Thanks for your thoughts..........

Shipper drops at a trucking depot, and you pick it up at the local depot.. there are many shipping companies..

Don't have it delivered point-to-point, that will run you a wheel, and a suspension.

Central Transport shipped my palletized engine.....costed $150 from CA to KY

do a search, but:

mine came from Michigan to Dallas for $400 on FedEx... they price matched a "no-name" shipping company with a much lower price...

I talked with a fellow about an engine earlier this year and he suggested Greyhound terminal to terminal. It was the cheapest way I found to get one shipped 700 miles or so.

greyhound for big stuff ...upto a point. not sure what weight limit is...

Yup, I'd always heard Greydog was the cheapest but I just checked with greyhound's online site...100lb. and $1000 max declared value.

"24/7 monitoring by the GPX operations center
100% guaranteed service*
Packages, boxes and letters up to 100 pounds per piece "

From Greyhounds site.....

Forward air is good, I had an engine shipped from LA to Mpls for 150.00.

I agree, Forward air. Have shipped 2 engine, great price and reliable.

forwardair was the company that FedEx matched the price of IIRC... I think Jake has used them before too

'Nuther vote for Forward Air...Just had a 2.4-6 six shipped from Seattle to RDU, NC..180 clams..and painless service too!!!

sounds like Forward Air is the winner .......thanks for the input everyone
