CCX, roadway, fedex maybe?
Pack it on a pallet, and take it to the receiving dock, it will be cheapest if the person receiving the engine picks it up at their nearest receiving dock as well. Start with whatever is closest to you, and tell them you want to ship from terminal to terminal. I'd make a bunch of calls to any carriers nearby and pick the best deal. |
