Well as someone that needs to ship around 14K in engine parts 1200 miles this thread pretty much made me sh*t my pants :oogle:
I got a quote to have a custom crate built for $250, but that wont keep the shipping company from rolling my crate off the end of the truck. Hmm... 19 hours and 1200 miles to drive it there:drive:

Engines Direct
Try this guy.
Kevin at Engines Direct has shipped four motors for me so far. He moves engines as a side to a big industrial engine/trans replacement company,or something like that.He gets a HUGH discount rate from R&L carriers. I opened my own account with R&L and my best rate was double Kevin's. Here's the good part, R&L picks up with a pallet jack and a lift gate truck and drops off the same way. They roll it right into the garage. Find a good pallet,then build a cradle for under the pan rails, so it can't roll. Strap it down with ratchet straps. Wrap it up or crate it if you want. I don't think I've payed over 300.00 form anywhere to S.FL. . Now I'm not saying Kevin's perfect, or R&L either, but its worked for me. You need to stay in contact with both untill you motor arrives. I hate to recommend services like this because you just know whats gonna happen as soon as you do,but he's saved me a bunch of money and its worked out so far.Les Kasten turned me onto him and he's used Kevin several times as well. Engines Direct 1-800-998-2100 R&L Shipping 1-800-543-5589 Ext.1747 Heather (She's great, and can track a shipment if things get cross threaded.) Just an option for ya Bob |
