Shipping a block CLE to Richmond
 
Who has the best deal on shipping a bare BBC to Richmond from Cleveland OR is anyone heading that way?

Thanks!!

any large LTL freight company can do it.
Yellow Freight
Overnight
R & L

Forward Air is the best deal but you have to do alot of the work.

bgchuby01 05-20-2008 02:21 PM

Chris do they make you drive the truck? What do you mean? Do you have to load it on the truck yourself?

bgchuby01 05-20-2008 02:21 PM

depending on weight you can ship it on greyhound

You have to take it to them. Then you have to wait around while they unload and weigh it- and they have all sorts of dock rules. Then you have to fill out paperwork. Then you get a price, then have to drive out of an industrial neighborhood and buy a money order at a ghetto convenience store.

Believe me when I tell you that pulling a handful of $50's out in some places attracts more attention than in some others.

The upside is they're really cheap. I have a national account with a big LTL at a 76% discount and FA is sometimes half that cost.

FYI Greyhound
 
A small greyhound can only carry 35lbs and thats pretty good for a dog,,,,,NO REALLY THEY HAVE A 100lbs Limit on packages

I just got the best deal from a broker called BMX - 1/3 the price
