Reccomend a shipper MI to TN

[darkstar]

I need some body to ship the gehl loader from MI to TN.
The shipping company that brought the chipper down is being unresponsive.
The gehl weighs 2000 pounds at most 41 inches wide and about 7 feet long.
You guys got any good reccomendations as to a company that will ship from MI to TN on a flat bed or a trailer?

Perhaps you might research some of the car carrier services? Idunno, it's driveable and will fit on the car trailers that I see on the highways a lot. Car sales are slow so the smaller carriers might be happy to have an extra vehicle to move.

Great idea i saw one coming through here half loaded.

Well this loader is to far off the beatin track for semi action.
Loks like it would fit in a long bed truck to me.
A small trailer would be better.
Anybody want to make 800 bucks?
Thats the going rate i get from the giant online companies.

If I lived in TN or MI I'd do it in a heartbeat. Are you too busy to go get it yourself? Would one of your employees want to make some extra cash?

Yah maybe i drobe my bucket truck to here from MI ,
It was harsh.
Guess im kinda trying to avoid that sceniero again
Like 12 hours each way .
I think shipping is cheaper i meen 24 hours driving plus diesel ....
Id do it for 1200.
Ill make the 800 here in 4 hours and not get any miles on my truck.
Surely someone knows a good shipping company.

Although not a shipping company, a friend of mine is layed off and is actually trying to get a job moving small equipment for the winter. If your heart is set on a company this won't do, but I can see if he's interested if you don't mind someone private.

get me the zipcodes and I'll get you a freight quote

How much does the loader weigh?

 

[darkstar]

Zip codes are coming form altmont MI 48003
going to Chattanooga TN 37405.
Machine weighs app 2000 pounds or less 42 inch width
76 inches height which can be drastically reduced by removing roll bar and 90 inches length

brendov id rather someone private ,
Why give cash to gian coorperations

Sorry I should have reread the first post. I can load that up on my isuzu flatbed. Give me some milage figures, I'm being lazy.

Nevermind I got it about 700 miles.

 

[SkwerI]

675 miles. Here's the mapquest page.

Damn that's not far. I'd grab it myself if I were you. You're making 2 bills extra an hour having you on site instead of just your crew running without you?

I could fancy a weekend trip. Really a small trailer behind a pickup would get you up there and back pretty quick.

Winter weather would be a slowing factor.

Jump on it .
Deliver it to me.
I call shipper in morning.
