jcmiller Posted May 7, 2015 Report Posted May 7, 2015 Pls let me know if you or someone you know are able to haul a transmission from MO to OR for a reasonable price. Not a rush. Thx. Quote
jcmiller Posted May 8, 2015 Author Report Posted May 8, 2015 A guy on the power wagon forum gave me a great tip that I wanted to pass along: Fastenal Third-party Logistics. https://www.fastenal.com/en/22/third-party-logistics-(3pl) I got a quote for $200 to ship a pallet 34 inches high and weighing 290 pounds from MO to Portland. The guy who told me about it shipped a 40 inch high and 450 pound pallet from Seattle to WV for the same price. 1 Quote
48ply1stcar Posted May 9, 2015 Report Posted May 9, 2015 Can't say that a transmission would go, but in 2008 I had four fenders, hood and truck lid shipped from PA to Minneapolis MN. I don't remember the price but it was cheaper to buy the parts and ship them than fix my parts. Quote
jcmiller Posted July 3, 2015 Author Report Posted July 3, 2015 I did end up using Fastenal and it worked great. It took less than a week and arrived in great shape. Very convenient and a good price. I'm going to have a fun weekend digging through the goodies. 1 Quote

jcmiller Posted July 4, 2015 Author Report Posted July 4, 2015 Sure. Use the link above to go to website. Enter size, weight, locations in form. You get an email quote in 1-2 days. The quote includes the Fastenal store you take it to and pick it up from. You accept by faxing or emailing the form back. I had a lot of questions and they were all answered, usually within minutes. These parts were in rural Missouri but there was a Fastenal store 10 miles away. Seller packed up goods on a pallet in a pickup and took to store. Both stores had forklifts to load/unload. Shipping is enclosed and they said they never stack things on top of customer goods. You pay when you pick up. Quote
