Guest my3buicks Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Check with Greyhound - I have shipped some really large things really cheap through them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe_padavano Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 I've had good luck with Greyhound for large items like fenders. I've used Forward Air to ship a Rover 4.6 short block from California to Virginia.Forward Air Home Page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Dobbin Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Greyhound is great for big bulky items like fenders, but weight costs. Try truck freight companies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bob Call Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Greyhound is great if the weight doesn't bring the cost up and the receiver is near a Greyhound terminal. I have had good luck shipping engines with R+L truck line. They are an LTL, less than full trailer load, shipper. If they don't serve your or the receivers area there are other shippers like them. Car engines I have shipped have gone up to 700 miles for less than $250. With R+L you have to have a trailer height dock or a way of loading or unloading the shipment as they will just drop it on the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
