Shipping a chassis to West Coast?
 

I recently sold a pavement midget chassis/body kit to a racer in the State of Washington - I'm in Ohio. He's having trouble finding a trucking company that will ship it to him. Anyone have any experience with a company that will handle this?

Strap it to a skid and hold on to your wallet. This will cost $400-$500 minimum. FedEx freight is good. Find someone that does business with them currently so you can use their discount, paying full price will hurt more.

That's what I expected. Any suggestions on a freight company?

Gerry Cook runs back and forth from the midwest to California all the time. I know he takes stuff to the west coast for Indy Race Part all the time.

In 2008 I shipped a Beast pavement midget frame , body and some boxed parts from Dundee, Michigan to Seattle. Shipper was Hoover Motor Express. Cost was about $500 shipped to a business. I hope this helps. Mounted frame to two skids with banding straps. Got there okay in about 5 days.

I have used Gerry Cook a time or two, a real character, all good. Worked for me! Phone number?.

Might check with fastenal if there’s one close to both of you. Guy at local store said you can ship stuff from store to store for cheap.

I sold one last year to a guy in Washington State. He used old dominion. We put it on a pallet and wrapped it up. They picked it up and that was it

I'll second fastenal.
