This sounds like LTL from Fastenal. I've Fastenal many times. But, in this case, store to store does not work as the destination is a port. </div>

<div>In 2021 I had a crated transmission weighing about 175 lbs shipped from Fl to Tx. I think it cost less than $200. I’ll have to see if I can find the name of the company. They were actually a commercial tool & equipment company that used their own trucks
to get supplies to their stores. If they had spare room on the truck, it went in. If not, it waited for a truck with room. It was store to store shipping. </div>

The shipper I tried said I need a business license to avoid a cost of three times what it would be otherwise. (this is BS)</div>

So..............any suggestions for a company that will ship a crate affordably for an average person? I have a UPS account and will be calling them this afternoon but an already certain that they will be stupid expensive.</div>

Any of you have a business license that would be willing to let me use it to set up this shipping? A big ask, I know but I am starting to get desperate. </div>
