Did you checked www.freightcenter.com? R+L Carriers seemed to have good rates when I was pricing engine/trans shipping over the last month.

We used Unishippers for all our freight stuff. If you can pallet it up and have it protected and are going from a loading dock/forklift location to another loading dock/fork lift location you should be able to freight it for much less than that. I think the motors we shipped averaged $350-450

I work for UPS and could do much better than $800. Unfortunately, your there and I'm here.

freightquote.com, they will give you a lot of options.

I would help you out, but it doesnt appear we can pick up in wy. I may be able to assist if you can get to one of our terminals though.

http://engineshipping.com/ iirc it was 250-300 to ship the duramax and allison with them and they gave me a contact to insure 2800 for 54 bucks iirc.

http://www.insureyourfreight.com/ Was the insurance, contacts were Dave and Stan, unsure if they still work there, as that was last year; but, they were great to work with.

Eric, UPSFreight is more expensive than you think. I was surprised we werent more competitive.

Eric?

I actually do a great deal of freight through my location and have found that we are very competitive at least at my particular location. Generally, the markup between cost and retail on freight is astronomical. I don't mind running a shipment and only making a little rather than not running it and not making anything. I set my own profit margin so I can get as competitive as I need to be.

They were by far the least expensive shipping company when I was looking to ship my motor.

They were the cheapest around when I had my 6.0 (LS gas) engine shipped from western VA to DE, business to personal address. Had a lift gate and all.
