Ive never shipped a motor before but now have to. What are some companies you guys might know of. And do I have to crate it up on a pallet myself or do they do it?
I haven't used them but I've heard good things about Fastenal's shipping service http://www.fastenal.com/web/en/22/third-...455717!64135591
I had an engine shipped from Ohio to California in a crate by this company. http://www.engineshipping.com/ the service was exceptional and prices were fantastic compared to other quotes I received. Contact person was: Mark Weidenhaft<O></O> Engines Direct<O></O> 1-800-998-2100 ext.106<O></O> mark@enginesdirectfreight.com I hope this helps.
Freight pro is reasonable. You would have to pallet it and it costs more to pick up/drop off at a residence. It is cheaper from business to business if possible. Cheryl
Yup, and be sure to drain all of the fluids thoroughly. I would then seal it up with plastic and tape. You will probably not like the shipping companies' reaction if the engine starts leaking fluids. The engine needs to be well-secured to the crate.
you can use uship and get it done independant too. idk how much it would help. find a member with a empty truck going somewheres is a the best idea.
