Is there anyone with an empty trailer from Chicago area heading east to pick up their next project that can deliver the lower half of my engine to a shop in Cecil Ohio if not I will have to ship it?

Thanks

I discovered a great service for shipping at:

www.uship.com

It runs a little like eBay. You post what you want shipped, and vendors submit competitive bids. Like eBay, you can read other's experience as they rate the shipper's performance.

I had a '47 Clipper hood that needed to be picked up from rural PA (From Pittsburg, go 45 miles into nowhere) to Dallas.

I got a quote from UPS to box and ship as long as the owner took it 15 miles to the nearest office. Cost was $658. For a $50 hood!

That's when I found U-Ship. I had several offers around $200. I accepted one for $175. The shipper picked it up at the rural address and took to to my house. He was going through the area, so I basically paid for his gas money home.

U-Ship takes anything from pets to cars.

I hope this helps.

I just registered on uship.com and received a bid for $125 cheaper then what I paid for having the upper half of my engine shipped back to the body shop. What a great way to save.

Well guys uship worked out pretty well they will be picking up my engine tomorrow and have it at Harts Machine Service tomorrow Afternoon. All for $130. It would of cost me about that much in gas if I had to run it out there. :)

That's the absolute great thing about forums like this. People who have the answers help people who have the questions. And we all have a little of both!

I'm thrilled for you!
