Engine to La.
 
Looking to get a engine to Percision Marine in Kenner La. from Va.
Freight charges are crazy and it will cost more to ship round trip than it will to rebuild my engine.Anyone have any contacts that could help a POOR Brother out.Thanks

What are the prices for freight & how much is the total weight?

1000 lbs. and Yellow wants $1200 each way for it with $40,000 worth of ins.For that much I can drive it down and back twice.I just might do that.

Where in VA and when do you need it there.

offthefront 04-25-2007 04:48 PM

I priced 2 502 MPI's from Jax to New York and was about 600 total for both motors ... one way

Rich,
Get ahold of Mike Lotti's wife Kaci. She's a sales rep for Saia and may be able to help you out. James may have his number......I'll look to see if I have it at work tomorrow (call me then)

I had a complete engine shipped from California to Chicago by Forward Air. I think the bill was $ 480.00 and it took them 3 days. Call them, they are a huge operation and their service was excellent.

They only deliver to airports and take cash or cashiers checks.

only problem is how to transfer engines from 1 truck to the other..

NOMOGOFAST 04-26-2007 02:47 PM

Rent a little enclosed uhaul trailer, and turn it in in la. Can you use your old landscape trailer and leave it at marks until the motor is done??

I've had great luck with Joey and would highly recommend him....I know he's pretty busy right now.....Rich I would think with your new company that you could get a highly discounted commercial rate from a regional carrier like Southeastern Freight...we have never had good luck with Yellow Freight
