shipping a van from colorado to nj

[bigrigpardo]

anyone know of a shipper near selida Colorado or a good shipping company. I am looking to buy a 68 flat nose van camper conversion. its 17 foot long 9 foot tall and 6'8" wide. it will run to get it on a trailer. I put a thing on u ship but no one is coming in with a realistic number. I would love it to be about 750. one guy quoted 4500. I was like I will drive out there redo the mechanical and drive it back before I do that. lol. crazy

Fly out, fix it, and drive it home. This is the perfect time for it.

U-ship is all about brokers now. It's nothing like what it was. Individuals aren't bidding on the jobs like they used to. Your best bet is indeed word of mouth--I personally stopped using it. I think I shipped my last truck from Oregon to Milwaukee for under 1000$ and will see if I can find the guys number.

One idea cam to mind for this site--why not align ourselves with a few shippers and try and get preferred rates and such. Worked on another site I was on for a while years back.

If it drives, I would just go get it. That is tall which is going to limit the guys that can move it.

Hey that's the "Van down by the river" did he move out ?? Sorry couldn't help it

[bigrigpardo]

thanks guys I have a bunch of shoppers by me in nj but most do the florida runs and up and down the coast thing. most say oh I don't go that far out. ugh. its been off the road since 2002 and therer are too many unknowns to drive it back 1800 miles.

Hey bigrigpardo, I live 5 minutes from Sedalia, so if you fly out, I'd be willing​ to help you out if you need tools, etc. Let me know.
