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.

Doesnt Fastenal or McMaster Carr offer a service like this
Yes, but only for very special folks on very special occasions. Our methodology is convoluted, painful, and inaccessible to the average person.
Thank you for all the info. I had reached out to multiple companies and it sounds like this one is going to work. They were very helpful and my quote was much less than expected.

You’re looking for LTL shipping options. Most freight companies have it, once you know what to ask for. Bonus that you have a dock and a truck for loading. Those gate lifts are $$$
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.
