ok . . . I just sold a 90hp motor to a guy in Seattle. I need to ship it . . . after MJ's experience I know who not to use. Do you guys have any suggestions. I seem to remember an outfit that does freight terminal to terminal.

I don't know how much they charge,
but FedEx has a freight service for LTL shipments.

LTL = Less Than Truck Load

I had a motor shipped from Iowa to PA by ABF Freight and was happy with the service and the price.

Racer, you would think that,
but shipping terms and abbreviations are strange.

It is LTL.

Racer, I just noticed your signature.

Is that like - where am I going and why am I in this handbasket?

BS do you have Yellow Freight by you, thats who was used by commercial guys when I had heavy stuff shipped to me. I don't know how their price compares but they were reliable and arrived when they said. I was also able to track my item like UPS
