yellow freight. i had an engine shipped from n.y city to chicago for around $480.00 the dude just strapped it to a palet and plastic wrapped it all up.
I don't think (hope) he would mind me mentioning this, but please check with Brian before you use Yellow Freight. Hipsibri@cs.com
It was probably an exception, but we went through some nightmares together with them.
How did the charges get figured out? Do they have a scale to weigh the crate/motor? Does weight matter? Or does weight need to be determined ahead of time?
There is a shipping company called Forward Air and they are located near most of the major city airports. You would have to take the engine (attached to a skid) to them and they will ship to the a location that is near the final destination for pickup. I shipped a trans. from Ca. to Ohio and it was $60. If I would have shipped by a trucking company it would have cost me $190.
