[Shop-talk] Freight shippers to avoid

[Pat Horne]

I had a trans shipped from Florida to Texas a few years ago. Things may have changed. Worth asking though.

I seem to recall that they don't ship across the Mississippi.  East is east, and west is west....

Fastenal Blue Lane shipping came in well under any others I called. They only ship between Fastenal stores so you have to arrange to get the crates to their store & pick them up. Give them a call, it can’t hurt.
