Default Help shipping engine

Hi folks, looking at a engine in Michigan, need to get it to Tacoma Wa...
Fastanal has 2 shipping divisions, east and west, and they wont ship from one to the other... Nearest other bid is 850, any ideas out there?
I can get it to denver pretty easy, then if I can get it to another west side fastanal yards, that would work...
Or ideas?

Best, Trent

It sounds like the goofy Fastenall guys have wrecked a good thing? Freight shipping would be cheaper but it is difficult to work with those companies!

Be nice if you could find a responsible trucker that needed a backhaul. Buddy had GTO convertible body shipped from west to Beaver Falls Pa.on flat deck. Got here ok just needed a forklift to get it off. Worked out well for him. I shipped a bunch of Pontiac heads to HO racing in 1976 used long haul trucking co,wasnt PIE oh geez cant think.

Look up yellow freight or FedEx freight.
IF YOU can deliver the pallet to a carriers shipping depot, and they can pick it up at other end at a depot, you can cut costs wayyyyyy down.
