 Reliable Freight shipping companies?Anyone know any good ones that care about the stuff being shipped?
Need some material for boats (structural and bent hulls) shipped from pierce aluminum in Broussard to Tyler TX. They said they have had bad luck with most shipping companies over long distance and have had stuff come back looking like aluminum foil. Any help is appreciated _________________ Pete Willett WC Custom Boats - Tyler, TX http://www.wccustomboats.com WC Custom 2048 3/16 Bottom Center Console with 35 PD EFI GTR WC Custom 1840 Hybrid 3/16 Bottom with 37 EFI BOSS |

Re: Reliable Freight shipping companies? Items such as you describe must be well crated to insure they will survive the handling as freight companies pick them up, take them to a crossdock, and route them. Lots of potential for damage and the insurance and claims process is lengthy and will only piss you off.
Talk around, there has to be an Independent trucker in your area or even a company like ours that operates a small fleet of trucks to handle such transits. The price may seem high until you price crating that is sufficient. _________________ Let them hate so long as they fear. |

Re: Reliable Freight shipping companies? You could spend a day and 150$ in fuel and put it on a flatbed trailer and know that it will get back safe.

Re: Reliable Freight shipping companies? Best way is to go get it yourself, or get a hotshot guy to deliver. I know a guy here who WILL NOT mess up your load.
