Arrow Have The Buyer Choose A Shipper

I still have my UShip account.
When it started I could communicate
directly with folks looking for transport
before placing a bid.

With #2 diesel averaging around $5.00
a gallon nationwide and higher on the
East & West Coasts and Northeast
there is no “ reasonable “ transport
to be found.

I am an actual business with insurance
and other operating costs that BS
Haulers don’t have to pay …

Whoever is paying for transport should
be doing the research and selecting the
method of transport.

The reality is - like vehicles - parts are
usually cost prohibitive to pay someone
to transport across the country so they
arrive in the condition they leave in.

Occasionally I will transport parts along
specific routes anchored by vehicle transport
but in reality the routes and timing seldom
line up.

If space allows I will transport parts with
a vehicle I have picked up - usually at no
additional charge ….
