ok I got a problem I found out today that my dad still has my stock tranny that was sa'post to go back to dave a while ago....I thought it had been shipped out and i just owed my dad the money when I went home the next time. Boy was I wrong. Now i want to get it to dave ASAP cause i feel terrible and i'll bet he hates me and thinks he got burned.

SOOOOOOOO my question is how do i go about shipping a tranny down to him? How do i even get a quote for something like that and who do i use???

or does any one want to bring it down for me if your going that way I'll gladly pay you. Dave just really needs this

you can ship it a few ways fedex freight , that would be on a pallet, nexted fedex ground . when you ship it you would need to take it down to the fedex terminal to get the best price. where's the trans going?

Cummins Freak

it is going from hopkin, MN which is basically the twin cities to Daves shop in St. Lucas, IA

I would say heck with shipping it Drive it down there, yahoo says 185 miles one way less than a tank of fuel. 370 round trip .

Just shipped a tranny from CO to MI. Cost about $200. It was pretty easy to ship. Just call some of the various shipping companies (I used ABF) and get a set of quotes. It is cheaper to take it to a terminal and picked up at a terminal as compared to home pick up and delivery. I'm not sure but I think the extras cost was like $80. You can put it on a pallet and don't need it in a case. I actually made a frame from some junk lumber for the tranny I shipped. Never got any feedback from the guy that bought it but it must have been OK cause he hasn't complained. Biggest concern I had was that since it had been installed they considered it used auto parts and only provided 10 cent/lb insurance/liability.

Yellow freight is who Dave uses. I paid for both ways when I bought mine.

I had a Ranch Hand front grill guard for sale a while back and a guy from Mont. was interested. I checked with Greyhound Bus. They were cheaper then anyone I checked with. Might check with them. Just go to their web site to get pricing.

You can go here as well. Click Call them and ask for a courtesy discount (usually 50%). That's an overnight point for them. Make sure you drain the trans and secure it to a pallet.

well thanks for the help guys but found a few guys on Cummins forum from tripleDperformance to take it down there and it only cost me about 50 bux BC they were going there anyways
