Let’s say I have to ship some special 2x4’s from Omaha area to the west coast of Oregon. Bundle measures 12”x12”x72” and weighs 135 pounds. Anyone have experience with that type of freight and who did you use? Fedx and ups quoted about $560. Third party freight company’s quoted me $1300 to $1900 but that is out of the question. Any ideas would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Try putting it on Uship or a site like that, get bids from someone driving that way anyways.

I used Uship before shipped a mini truck frame ID to SD it was $600. They don't get paid until you give them a pay code.

Big bob, trucking company’s won’t deal if you don’t have an account and ship a lot.
