They used to be called roadway or Yellow trucking (merger). They shipped a roof air foil for my mitsu FE for aerodynamic improvement. It came fromCanada to NJ. I think it cost $300 to ship. Not bad considering it's size.

I've also used Conway http://www.con-way.com/en/ with great service / success

Cheapest way is to find someone who is going south Dave. Once you in USA freight costs drop considerably.

Cheapest way to ship locally is canada post, but your way over on weight and size.

Thanks Mike...Shipping from the US to Canada is bad enough...But shipping to US is even worse....

How heavy are they Dave? Try U-Ship. I have seen some pretty amazing prices from them. I am trying to remember who I used to send a motor down to the states. It was something like 3 or 4 hundred to ship a fully dressed cummins to eastern USA
