Title: Help moving mill equipment from TX to midwest
Post by: Kelvin on July 25, 2004, 05:58:58 AM
Anyone live down the texas way?  I'm trying to find a way to move a 1000 lbs planer from a guy in houston up to michigan.  Any ideas?  Freight company said about $600, but i thought with all the knowledge on this board, someone might have a good idea how to get it at least closer.  Its a 21 hr drive straight, and i can't make that work.  It i could just get it to the midwest, i;d drive 4-5 hours.  Anyone have any info on cheap freight company, or people who deliever trucks, or where to look on the web for people who move stuff?  it will be on a pallet, and can be rolled into a trailer bed apparently.  Just a wacky thought that someone here might have some ideas.  Thanks
