Just one note to add to this -- send terminal to terminal of the
trucking company for the lowest rate. They charge extra to pick it up
anywhere or drop it off anywhere, and then add more if it's a
residential address due to the difficulty of their trucks getting
through neighborhoods.
Keep Triumphing,
Susan Hensley :)
(Who just sent a Jensen Healey engine to Las Vegas via the terminal
method after finding out what door-to-door would cost!)
