Default Re: Freight Shipping

yep I use them all the time, it should ship for about 200 bucks, make your own pallet sheet of plywood and 2 two by fours, drill holes around the rear end and tie it down with a bander or rope, it has to be coverd with a box cant be shipped open, a couple custom cut carboard boxes to cover it I cut them to hang on the side and screw the carboard to the 2 by fours with washers a little tape in the middle to hold it looking good and they will check it in, if it looks to hokey they will send you home, takes me a couple hours to pallet something and a dumpster dive at the furniture store,lol... and your done. also dont make it any longer or taller than you have to, your paying for the space as well as weight!!!!!!

Drain any fluids, securely strap it to a pallet and ship it www.forwardair.com. You will have to take it there and it will need to be picked up at the other end but it is cheap. Check their site.

We use www.freightquote.com for all motor freight. Fill out the RFQ and they will shop the shipment with 100's of carriers.

I recently had a rollbar shipped from MO to Al and I believe it cost around 80 bucks. He guy I bought it from used R+L Carriers. Once he called them (thats another story) they were Johnny on the spot... Boom, 18 wheeler at my door in three days if I remember correct. The truck driver even called to give me an ETA. It was on a pallet with some other parts. I was impressed with R+L.

R+L CARRIERS
