Google has a ton of them, but I am having trouble weeding through what's a good site and what's bs advertising. Anybody have any real world experience with shipping something freight via an online quote? This will be an 800 lb smoker shipping from texas to south Dakota in a crate.

I don't know about actual shipping companies, but my son made a run to St. Louis MO with his roll back. He delivered a Bud Light display. Some of the towing companies haul more than just vehicles. Last week he went to Laredo and picked up some doors and windows and delivered to Ft. Worth. -
Central freight Saia American Freightwwys are all ltl freight companies and are going to be cheaper than an individual hot shot or third party shipper/broke inmost cases. You will probably have to take it to them but there may not be a terminal in Angelo.Comment

Awesome, thanks for the info guys. That's what I was using but I was a little skeptical of the quotes. It's saying to ship an 800 lb crate that's 30x30x60 1,000 miles you're looking as low as $180. I told my customer we will go with a middle of the road quote from Saia for $240.Originally posted by HOOKNBULLET2 View PostComment

It's been a while for me but I had my boat delivered from NW Arkansas to Midland back in 2011 or 2012 using uShip.com. You post your pics, similar to an listing Ebay, weight, specs, needs, etc... of what you want shipped and companies bid on it. I had a guy reach out and said he was trying to get started and get reviews and bid it about 1/3 less than the lowest of the other 5 bids I got. Had a great experienceComment
