Weight Question

[Nor Cal Terror]

I am shipping a 93 Ty motor minus, turbo, ecu and wire harness on a palet. Does anyone know what this should weigh and possibly the best carrier to ship out of state. Shipping from California to Detroit.

Thanks,

I've used RoadWay for palletized items.
Sent a set of 4 wheels to alaska just fine.

One of my trannys was sent RoadWay too, both arrived perfect with no delays or hiccups.
RoadWay will let you pickup and drop off a their transfer stations too if you dont have a dock.

Not sure on the weight.

Damn, I misread that earlier... I thought you wrote "a 93 Ty minus motor..." I couldn't figure out how you were planning on fitting a rolling chassis and entire body onto a pallet for the life of me. I'm sorry I can't help on weight, but I can recommend Yellow. I believe they are national, and we've been using them at my company more and more, since they have been reasonably priced and very reliable. On the flip side to that, I can say we have not had good experiences with R&L trucking at all, but that might just have been our local driver.

We ship about 90% of our freight (tools/shop equipment) by the above listed (Yellow & Roadway), and seldom have any issues (30-45 pal/day average). Be sure to tie it down securely, and a few "do not stack" stickers couldn't hurt. Weight shouldn't matter much with a commercial carrier, at least not like UPS (I believe we pay a $55/pal minimum for everything under 5-600#). If there is a warehouse/dc near you, you may want to try to make a connection (our latest contract gives about a 55% discount from a private online quote). Most national outfits have trucks with liftgates available too. HTHs

Jersey, I did the same exact thing! I was like .
