What shipping carriers do companies like autopower/ioport and kirk use?

 

i got a 4 pt weld in from Art Morrisson Enterprises ( AME ) and they had to freight ship it to me. im in pittsburgh pa and they are in oregon somewhere. it cost me 100 for shipping and i had to pick it up about 20 minutes from my house.

 

thats not a bad price - do you know which carrier it was?

 

wish i could buy your DA, but i have no money for a second car
good luck on selling it

 

i think it was called American Freight or something similar. it was about two years ago, so im not positive.

 

Any trucking company will ship it. Cost will be around $60. Best thing to do is ask the buyer to pick it up at the terminal. Trucking companies will charge $50 or more for a "lift gate" charge if the final destination does not have a full blown loading dock.

Take the bar down to the terminal. They will weight it and put it on a pallet.

I have heard of other people shipping big stuff through greyhound for a lot cheaper than truck freight.

Goot call... loox like $60 will do it to santa barbara

 

i had my bar shipped to my house through Pilot. Im sure it depends on region who autopower uses. My cost to my door was a little over 100.

mine came pilot as well. but they probably use whatever local freight service that goes to/is in your area

 

I got mine greyhound

 

Kirk shipped my via Old Dominion. The freight terminal was 10 minutes from my house. Cost $80 and four days from AL to NJ. Some shipping companies also charge a residential fee, so find a commercial address or ship to their terminal.

 

Yea I got my cage from Kirk Old Dominion too, The sent me a tracking number so I could follow it too. Cost was about $70 AL to Cleveland Ohio.

Kirk uses Old Dominion for their bars.

 

The good thing about a rollcage or rollbar is that a trucking company is going to have a hard time breaking one - so use whoever can give you the best price. We had a top of the line RECARO rally seat arrive from the US distributor with a forklift spear-hole right through the back. Claim was more than $950 in 1986 dollars...
