I was wondering if anyone could provide any advice or suggestions on shipping heavy/bulky equipment (~300 pounds, about a half-rack worth of gear) on short notice cross-country? We're obviously looking to minimize cost, but realistically it can't be in transit for more than two days.
Are
there any companies or methods people would recommend? Thanks in advance for the help. Thanks again, Matt
This probably is too small of a load for this but we have had good luck moving high value industrial control panels using the special cargo division of carriers like United Van Lines (http://www.unitedvanlines.com/spec/highvalue.htm?gid=9). Basically standard household moving trucks with crews dedicated to moving high value electronics, exhibits, art, etc. around the country. With a 2 person crew in the truck you can go a hell of a long ways in 2 days though the cost may not be exactly pretty. Mark Radabaugh Amplex (419) 720-3635
