Good morning. I'm trying to find a shipping company to ship parts on a pallet. I did a little searching last night and everything I found appeared to be geared toward ongoing shipping for businesses. If I can figure out shipping I will purchase online, have an family member pick up the parts, pack, and ship to me. I would have forklift and dock access at both locations and I would be shipping from GA to CO. Anyone have any recommendations?

ABF Freight/ArcBest is what I've used in the past.

I know @mrblaine does this from time to time
 
Back when I had a JKU around 10 years ago (before I upgraded to an LJ), I bought a Rubi Dana 44 front and had it shipped. He used Fedex. I do believe Fastenal will do it also.

I did ask him to get a quote before shipping, which he didn't do. He had a business account with Fedex and had them bill him. So think he originally told me $200 which I thought was pretty cheap. So a month later he got a bill for $740. He hit me up to pay the difference = to half. So I did send him the difference since I didn't want him to be on the hook for the whole amount.
