Stock / Super Stock racer Greg Gay can help you too, he owns BDR transport and can ship across the country.

FYI, freightquote and unishippers are 3rd party logistics companies. They do not own their own equipment. They put the freight on independant owner trucks. Not saying that's bad, but you lose a little control that way. I like fedex ground.

Thanks for the vote of confidence, guys. We can really only handle two types of moves:
1) Shipments originating in New England going to most places in the country and
2) Shipments originating in California going back to New England (and maybe a drop off directly in route).

As for most traditional LTL carriers, my only advice is crate them well. Break-bulk terminals are named that for a reason. Those guys load every inch of a trailer, and they can be brutal.

A couple years back, we moved a hemi for the Howes. They had a big plastic box that bolted together and was designed to move an engine. It was fantastic. You could ship your engine with most anyone, if it was protected like that.

For the shipments that do move in our lanes: B-D-R Transport, 800-421-0126.
