Shipping recommendation for crate engine
« on: October 25, 2016, 11:42:47 AM »
Hi Guys

I need a freight recommendation for shipping a crated engine from Florida to Seattle.
Can someone chime here?

I used Forward Air for my engine shipment from CT to KC. Not the cheapest but better than me driving there myself.

Other members here have used Fastenal. They ship between their own locations. Apparently they have good rates.

If you have one near by, it'd be worth a phone call.

+100.

Fastenal's LTL rates are very reasonable if you have one close on both ends.
