The Ford Barn

spdway1 · 05-06-2012, 01:26 PM

I have bought a large part from Stephenville, Texas 76401 and need to get back to Massachusetts. I have it listed on Uship.com and shipallmost anything.com for 3 weeks, no takers. It is a very rare item, I don't want it getting banged around at trucking terminals on loading dockS with a forklift along the way. The Dims are 3 feet wide, 2 feet high, 10 feet long, weight about 200.

Any help or ideas appreciated. Thank you.

Hi, Why don't you try GRAYHOUND . I had body parts, cowl, etc shipped from AZ to Md that way and it was cheaper !!!

Greyhound has lost 3 of my shipments. He doesn't want it banged up or lost.
Greyhound only insures to 300. so out of the question on something rare.

Try Freightquote.com I use them for shipping engines and Machinery, they are very
reasonable.
The are a broker and find someone in the area that needs more in their load.

OK, I gotta ask! WHAT is it?

Steve Wastler · 05-07-2012, 10:35 AM

I have used a company from your area called LandAir express. I've had large tractor attachments shipped from different areas of the U.S.
The cost is usually reasonable and delivery is quick.
Here's their website : http://mylandair.com/home/index.html

I would contact a broker or trucking company that deals in tradeshow shipments. They know how to handle large delicate stuff.

You might check with "trulyvintage" here on FB. See if his travels take him to Texas anytime soon.
