    Default Shippers for large tub

    Anyone have any suggestions for companies that ship large freight? Going from Mass to SC. Need a good company that can pick it up and ship to Charleston without beating the tar out of it. Any advice or comments appreciated.

    If you are a first time shipper with UPS freight they will give you a HUGE discount. You might check them.

    Some folks have used Greyhound - but your shipper would need to take it to them and you would have to go and get it from the local Greyhound station.

    I was put on to Redneck Express by the old cowboy I use to work with. Go to your nearest horse trailer dealer and see if they have anyone moving one in the right direction. A lot of people who move horses with those big 5th wheel trailers will also put anything in the back to help cover fuel costs.

    My T-posts came from Montanna by rodeo clown. UPS wouldn't touch them and the quotes I got from U-ship were about three times the worth of the parts. It cost me $100 in the end.

    Tub as in land rover body tub? I'm driving from Manchester, NH to Beaufort, SC next month, but a body tub is probably a bit big to fit on the roof of my wife's FJ Cruiser...

    In order to get a 109 tub into the luggage compartment of a Greyhound, you'ld have to crush it first. Not sure that's the best option.

    SafeAirOne, We could use a trailer? I would much rather pay a member here than a shipping company. PM you with my number.
