Default Re: Ship a fender Maine to Cal

And I shipped a cummins 6at genset diesel from Texas to Washington for 400.00. Yellow Freight quoted 1250.00. With research I found 'WESHIPENGINES.com' and the funny thing is, it arrived in the back end of a dark brown UPS semi truck/trailer. These are brokerage houses that find room on something that's already coming your way. It's a great business model. Sort of like a motel that isn't too full so they reduce the room to 90 bucks, because clearing 50 bucks is better than an empty room.
