I've got an engine and transmission I need to ship, I know it'll be freight but wanted to get some suggestions on who I should use.

Thanks

i have used forward air in the past to ship motorcycle engines. they ship terminal to terminal, so it is a little cheaper. been a couple of years since i used them www.forwardair.com

2nd vote for Forward Air. March '03 I shipped a 526lb crate from FL to TX for $125. I'm sure it's a little more now but it beat all other rates by at least 50%.

Thanks guys. I have received stuff through Forward Air and as a matter of fact it was a motorcycle engine. The problem is the guy doesn't have a airport terminal near him. We only live about 500 miles from each other. I'm thinking I'll deliver it for a fee instead of fooling with shipping.

Thanks for the input.

To see if they are going to have a meet that I could crash. If they do set a date could you could you get it to Jackson? And I could get it to Patrick from there.
