    Would Christina at uberhaul be a good option to get a quote for an engine (engine only) to be trucked from Nebraska to LA?

    Hey Chris, I didn't know that Fastenal would truck such items as car engines.

    I assume, they include it in their regular trucking shipments called Blue Lane Freight.
    This could be very good if the shipping rates are affordable.
    I wonder if you have to grate the engine yourself or if they have that service too?
    Have you ever used them?

    Blue Lane Freight (fastenal.com)

    They have a east/west line. They are not crossing...Nebraska east side/ California west...

    Ah, I was thinking state to state and was using Louisiana as LA. If it is Los Angeles, then like Bob said, it wouldn't work.

    Chris this is the original request> I'm looking for a budget shipper if there is such a business around. I am buying a truck in New Mexico and want it shipped to Wisconsin. Any help is surely appreciated.

    Looks like it will work using Fastenal. Looking at Fastenal's Map, Arizona is start of the West Zone and New Mexico is in the East Zone as is Wisconsin.:D

    VET, if you look at my reply, you can see I was quoting and replying about the engine, not the truck.

    Christina is who I would use for a vehicle, but I don't know if she does engines / LTL freight.

    Must have lost my thought process.:eek: When you get my age, there is a lot of stuff you lose.

    As far a Fastenal shipping trucks, I have no clue, but why not? They move a lot of heavy equipment.
    If it will fit inside a Semi trailer!!! Place a phone call, you'll know for sure.

    Individual fastenal locations can "opt out" of third party shipping. The location here in Las Cruces has never accepted third party shipments. Ironically Roswell does, or did. It's in fine print, on their website.

    I have used David Phelps the last 4-5 years to transport my cars enclosed. He goes all over,so he will just connect dots to make a route.
