Shipping an engine crate

87gt50 · 11-13-2013, 10:32 AM

What/who are you guys using when shipping a crated engine across the country? I need to ship a crate from NorCal to Hampton, VA., and would appreciate your recommendations.
Thanks!

Shaffirof sent my short block FedEx Freight. It arrived no problem.
Mark Kirby is in the business so you might want to give him a shout.

We used Old Dominion sending our 705 back and forth to engine builder. Great service and we never had an issue.

I have used http://www.engineshipping.com/ They have excellent rates and tracking. They can handle tailgate pickup on either end also.
