For those who have shipped an engine: What freight company

did you use, were you happy with them, and did you insure it

through the shipper or another source?



Thanks,

My engine came from Indiana and I used Freightquote.com and insurance

obtained through them. It was considerably less expensive and it turned out

that it came on one of the carriers that gave me a much higher price when I

contacted them directly. Things went well but apparently Freightquote.com

has their webpage oriented toward the shipper arranging things instead of

the receiver so it was a little awkward for me to set things up but went

well and I'm happy and less poor that could have been.

PS: Just passed through Pearblossom last weekend on a trip from Yuma to

Chowchilla. Stopped in at Mojave airport to look around at Scaled Composites

layout as well as the Rotary Rocket on display.

I've used Roadway on two different occasions. I've been happy with them

and the shipments were insured through them. Keep in mind standard

shipments are only insured for a maximum of $25 per pound. For the

additional coverage needed trucking companies charge ~.30 to .40 cents

per $100 of the value.



To save money it may be possible to get a one time rider on your home

insurance or builders insurance for the shipment. On other money saving

tip is look into picking the engine up at the trucking terminal. This

saves home delivery charge and possibly a "lift gate charge".



Also determine where the FOB (freight on board) point is. If it is FOB

origin then you are completely responsibly for the shipment, however if

it is FOB destination then it is the sellers responsibility.  



Upon receiving (before you sign for it) carefully check the crate for

any damage. This includes damage to the bottom corners just in case it

was dropped. Open up the crate if they will let you (some large

terminals don't allow for this but you can ask in advance.) If there is

any damage note it on the bill of lading. The phrase "Subject to

inspection" can be added to your signature if there is any physical

damage to the crate. Report any damage the same day!

To all who have responded so far:



Thanks for the info and advice.  Albert Gardner noted Freightquote.com and 

they had a good quote thru Roadway however the stock insurance coverage was 

$10,000 max.  A search for third-party shipping/freight insurance found 

Ramon, Inc http://www.ramonins-usa.com who quoted $ .25 per $100 for $70 on 

$28,000.  Learning as I go.

Might also be worth talking to Tony Partain. His trucks generally haul

cars and similar stuff on the back hauls to Oregon after delivering RV

parts to all y'all.
