I have a longblock to ship in the states and wonder who some of you guys have used successfully (and economically)?
Worst case it would go from the east coast to the west coast. I think I remember that it makes a difference if it is residential pickup/delivery vs. business. I am guessing this is around 250-300 pounds. Thanks for any help and advice! |

You'll probably get the best rate from www.freightquote.com I use them for all my business now, but I'm not shipping engines. I've shipped about six engines and a couple complete engine/trans through Roadway, UPS Freight, ConWay, and others. I guess I've been lucky, as I haven't had a damage problem. I would only ship a engine in an enclosed crate. The condition of the goods on arrival is typically relational to the quality of the crating job. Make sure you ask about insurance.
