If "terminal to terminal" is acceptable (ie your shipper will deliver to the
terminal and you can pick up from a terminal), then check out Forward Air.

They moved a pallet of car parts for me from Dallas to Los Angeles, weighing
over 500#, for about $200. I'd talk to them even if your shipper can't
deliver, as they may be able to suggest one of their partners willing to do
the pickup.
