Shipping FE blocks from Houston, Tx to Pembina, ND
Anyone have a recommended carrier for shipping 2 iron FE blocks from Houston, Tx to Pembina, ND ? I figured strapping them to a pallet would be the best solution for shipping via truck freight.

Crate them up....trust me......
Crate 'em up and then give my buddy Matt a call. He's a freight broker and expeditor. Exim Cars | Automotive Import / Export Solutions |
We ship a lot of freight out of Houston and lately are getting great rates from AAA Cooper and FedEx Freight.

Yrc.com
Hello, I ship several LTL loads each week and use yrc.com, go to the quote page and there is a small orange box in the upper right side of the screen, click on that, enter the weight & measurements and it will give a quote. You can have pick up at a commercial facilty or you can drop at a YRC terminal. YRC has the best rates that I have found.
I just shipped 1,120lbs. from Phila. to Vegas for 178.00 good luck, Karl |
Pallet required. A layer of 3/4 plywood under the block and metal straps or hold-down bolts strongly recommended. Even for a one off shipment, most LTL (Less Than truckLoad) will give you a 70-80% discount off published rates. They will top stack so make sure your crate has 2x4 supports. Ask for a NMFC class 50 or lower rate.

Thank you all! I'll try these out and report back with results.

yes
get some 2"x 2"s, plywood and screws to cover the blocks up. Protect them and keep someone's eyes off them. |
