How to ship a transmission across the U.S. ?

[BiggG74]

I work for an LTL company. The crate would work fine. A lot of our customers just place a tire on a pallet and set the transmission on the pallet. Then they take a piece of bailing wire and tie it to the pallet. Wrap it in shrink wrap and put a shipping tag on it. And it's good to go. Also check with local LTL companies and talk to them. Some of them inter line with other carriers which causes cost to go down. Also "will call" the freight will save you cost. Just an idea. If your guy in Cali has a shop he may be eligible for discounts by freight companies that pick up and deliver. Also in Irvine they have "box trucks" so you don't need access to have a trailer there.

Transmission is on the way!


This is Dana Sniff, he owned 2 transmission shops for about 30 years in SoCal, now he's retired and just builds for fun.  As you can see, every inch of his garage shop is filled with tools, equipment and parts.





 
Dana's buddy built a mini pallet and then strapped her down.


 
I wrapped her with shipping plastic...




Thank you to everyone for your help....
