I don't know where to start!
I have a place I can take it to that has a loading dock. I'll strap it on a pallet really good. Maybe somebody on here can help us find the best price?
The address is in Denton NC. I can't remember the zip right off!
Thanks

Here's what I got at Highway Freight:
Thank you for your request for a quote!
Your quote request # is 124317.
The freight quote per your request is: $406.05
* Non-residential: $346.05
MJ, would it be delivered to your house or a commercial business?

Try Yellow Freight. We shipped with them a lot at my former job and they always gave us good rates.
UPS also has a heavy freight service that delivers more than their normal pickup service.

My dad is the plant manager at a factory down the road. They have shipments go out on Yellow and Fredrickson (I think) all the time. He is going to see what rate he can get. I think it will save $$ if he can have it shipped to another business rather than his front door, but don't know if he has a choice there.

Strap it to your back, lay your Nortons on a block, have your wife hit 'em w/ a bat and you'll get it there in one leap :o ...maybe you and MJ can do same simultaneously and split the jump...keep in mind you'll have to find someone w/ a bat for the return leap ;) ::) ...

If I recall correctly, there has been a picture of MJ's nortons on this site in the past. Judging by the size, I'd say he'll end up in South America if he tries it!
