Hi:
If you dont have enough time off or money for a roadtrip, another option to look into is having it trucked by a company called ForwardAir...they are very economical but they only go from airport to airport. So you would have to 'band-it' the cab to a wood pallet and deliver it to the ForwardAir building (typically an industrial park near a big city airport) then pick it up a week or two later at their building at an industrial park at the nearest big airport where you live. If you are not worried about the cab getting scratched or dinged you dont need any more protection than shrink wrap and maybe foam or cardboard pads on the glass and no insurance. I had an old motorcycle shipped from Las Vegas to Dallas using this method and I recall it cost less than $150 ten years ago.
Regards,
