Anyone heading out west - as in Los Angeles

Post by hockeydad4-22 »

I have found a cage for Drew's bronco - all I have to do is have it shipped here. Is anyone heading out west anytime soon, and have the ability to bring it back. Yes it is fully assembled so you will need a pick up or a trailer unless you are very creative in strapping stuff to the roof of your family sedan.

And yes I am looking at freight companies, they want a small fortune (like I could buy one locally for about the same money).

I am more than willing to offset the cost of fuel for your trip, especially if you were planning to take the car due to cost and now will have take the pick up.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

We use a guy at work who is pretty good at finding space on trailers. If you can give me overall dimensions and a weight (pics would help too) I'll see what he can do for us.

I am headed to Anaheim tomorrow, but pretty sure I can't carry-on a cage.

For those thinking of the sedan idea...think exocage...

Hoc,

Try Forward Air, they only charged me $100 to ship a pair of Bronco doors to me.

Thanks for the advice - called them and saved 10% off the best quote so far. Quotes on this shipment have ranged from $730 to $321.

Amazing range, I figured that the shipping industry was fairly standardized, know I know.

Thanks again.
