Projects Affordable engine pallet shipping? FL to CA

Hi everyone. I'm looking to ship a big ol Ford 6.4 on a pallet from Tampa FL to Long Beach CA. It weighs around 1400lbs. Any suggestions for shipping? Looking for terminal to terminal.

 

Try fastenal third party logistics.
Goes from your fastenal local store to Long Beach fastenal

 

You can check Fastenal but I don't think they are currently taking third party shipments to California but it might have changed.

Check,and see if R &L freight is in FL. I know they delivered a transmission to me in northern Ca. and I see their trucks in Wisconsin so they may be nation wide.

 

I sent them a quote request. We'll see if they're doing cali.

 

I think R&L is nationwide. If not, they will have agreements with other companies to hand it off to to finish delivery . Most all freight companies work this way.

 

$600 from these guys. That doesn't seem too outrageous given how heavy it is.

 

I would secure it better than what you've done. It's a log trip.

 

I'm going to crate it. Just had it like that so a local could come check it out. But it looks like it's gonna have to ship.

 

look up Engine Direct, or something similar.

 

Look up a site called freightquote. They will give you multiple quotes from different shippers and you pick the one that suits you. I recently went thru the process for a long heavy (400 lbs) shipment and prices were as high as $1000. I ended up shipping thru them fo $200. Whatever you do.....GET INSURANCE.
