Brian,
How about a Travel list posted somewhere so if somebody is making a trip
anyway with extra space for large parts, they can be contacted to haul
something. Sorta like a freight forwarding agent, who serves truckers
that would end up making the return trip with an empty load.
Something like that would lessen the number of times a large item would
have to be loaded and off-loaded.
