ship an engine..
Whats the cheapest way to ship an engine on a palette? I checked Forward Air and Fed Ex freight, and they both are @ $325.00 from ATL to SAT.
Trucking company maybe? |

Marc.
When we bought a used Audi 1.8 turbo long block for my son's A4 out of New York, it was shipped on a pallet via truck. Ran under $200 to Atlanta if I recall. I do not know the name of the freight line, but if you have time on your side I think the long haulers are your best bet. Where is SAT? Tell me your restoring an original 550 Spyder? Bob |

SAT = San Antonio. It's the airport code, so I'm assuming some kind of air freight shipping?

Yes, a local dispatcher is the best bet. It's usually pretty easy to find a trailer with room for an extra pallet, and the truckers are almost always happy to fill their trailer and make a bit more money.

I used ...
uShip - The Online Shipping Marketplace - Ship Freight, Furniture, Vehicles or Moves to ship 2 Yamaha M/Cs 700 mi. from SF Bay Area to Portland, OR. ~375 lbs. ea. = $150 ea. . 2 years later (different shipper) a 290 lb. Cagiva Mito M/C from Port. back down to Bay Area for $200. . Both carriers were insured (I checked), both episodes no problems. Lots of estimates for 2 & 3 times these prices.
