You can try http://www.uship.com/. I am told that if you are not too far off the beaten path and not in a rush you can find fifty cents per mile.

posted it on uship, one quote of 3200, one for 2700.

50 miles off I-80, to offload on I-70, total of about 950 miles


surely someone doesnt have to have $3 per mile for a partial truckload.

Don't go with uship! I'll save you the pain...I've lost thousands in cash from the hill-billy fly-by-night guys. They are careful in how they get their ratings...so you can't trust that either nor the guys with a 'fleet' of trucks... been there done that...like I said, I've lost thousands in cash and also in spare parts they've lifted off machines that were just boxes of spares. Granted, I did have a couple of good transactions but more often than not it was a disaster...whenever I used a proper broker...boom. I got either a better deal or as good and it was actually timely not these guys that will make you wait as they drop every other load on their way..and pick up... and.... every excuse under the sun. Then there are the guys that just do certain geographies... so I have a few guys that are not brokers that are good for certain areas.
I'll PM you.

Hey Mainer, speaking of "Moves", how is that critter you got from up here coming along? Doing anything to it yet or still ugly?

Inquiring minds want to know

What model cat do you need hauled? How wide is it? I have to go to Truckee and could haul it back for a buck.

You got a truck that can pull a gooseneck trailer????
I've got a 40 foot double dovetail, triple axle.

Are the tracks wider than 8 feet??

I'm between Salida, Buena Vista and Hartsel.

Hi, what kind of Snow cat are you wanting to haul back. use to buy, sell and repair machines, so I now them pretty well, I live in Mesa Colo. just off I-70, would be interested in hauling it depending, on what it is and how wide, give me a call 970-270-8771 thanks Wes

Depending on what it is and where you need it to go keep me in mind I will haul it farely cheap, if it isn't to far out of the way or if I am already going that way maybe I can help. We are in Colo. and sometimes we venture out. sometimes quite aways,
