    Need help shipping an engine long island to phoenix

    Long story short after 3 attempts at transport with engineshippers.com ,I fired there ass.

    Anyway the engine is crated in a warehouse in Long Island NY and I will need someone to pick it up. If anyone is making the cross country trip let me know.
    I will even meet you within a 300 mile radius of phoenix.
    Any help appreciated.
    Thanks

    They do all our engines, just make sure it's crated, truck freight is a rough dance.

    Try Fastenal 3PL = Third party logistics.
    You will need to drop the crate off at your local store or distribution center. They will not deliver or pick up.
    Space available basis.
    $300.00 for a crated 911 long block from Seattle to Miami in 4-5 days.

    Problem is the timing and logistics at pick up end. Right?

    Have a courier pick it up and deliver to a depot? May cost more but pales in comparison to what the shop is charging for storage while your car is down.
