how would you ship a crate that has a FG aar hood in it 64x52x6 weighing 97lbs too big for greyhound from Arizona to Ohio It's going to be expensive based on it's size, UPS Truck Freight would run you about $300 +/- $50 IMHO, I ship my repro fiberglass E body GC/SE headliners around the country/overseas in wood containers apprx the same size 60X60X6.... I wouldn't waste my time/money with FedEx or Fastenal.... MikeG

The glass six-pack hood for my Dart came truck freight from AAR Fiberglass. $645 for the hood... and $200 for the freight! Before that, I bought a steel one to fit my '65 F-350 in a crate, shipped by Forward Air. If you're near a major airport where they ship, it might be a good deal. (They go airport to airport...) I've used Forward Air as well when applicable/feasible, zero issues, pretty much comparable to UPS Truck Freight charges IMHO for large sized freight MikeG

IF they rate it correctly... should not be over 100$ Then add oversized freight charge $60-$80, fuel usage charge, along with a host of other destination fees/taxes/insurance/etc..... you'll be $200+, residential delivery adds another $50 to $100 depending on route, and if liftgate is added, then additional charges...... you can do terminal to terminal delivery if you want to avoid residential fees, but Arizona to Ohio is an easy $200+.....

JB Hunt .... Fedex FREIGHT ... RL Carriers none of the sites show an option to drop off at terminal or i just cant seam to find it RL Carriers is your "cheapest" out of those 3 and more "reliable", JB Hunt and FedEx leave a lot to be desired as far as cost and proper handling......DAMHIK One thing that most Truck Freight carriers (except UPS/Fedex/DHL with them, declared value is just that) won't tell you regarding Insurance is that "used parts/components/etc" are not truly covered in full by the declared value if damage/loss occurs, only "new parts/components/etc" are covered at full declared value, declared value is what the receiver paid for the merchandise from you, (freight charges cannot be added to the declared value) they'll take your $$$ for Insurance, but a claim will be adjusted if "used items" that are shipped become lost/damage, one of the reasons I use UPS Truck Freight or worst case FedEx is no hassle on a claim, as long as the declared value is what I and or the receiver can produce ....

niteCLONA ... some very interesting and valid observations But how many PLASTIC PARTS have you shipped ? And how many RATING NUMBERS have you used ? In a situation like this .... PAY for the shipping UP FRONT so they can’t UP AND EXTRA you ! Call a few of them on Monday...... ALSO .... call an airline.... the air freight terminal... just as a comparison..... How well is the hood crated ? Are the corners WELL PROTECTED?

I remember years ago someone shipped glass hoods by Greyhound bus. Do they still do that?
In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.

I just checked the weather reports for Westchester, oh and Mesa, Az. No brainer. Take some time off and drive to AZ for a couple of weeks and bring the hood home with you.

How well is the hood crated ? Are the corners WELL PROTECTED? I ship quite a lot yearly, repro Aero fiberglass and repro Aero steel body panels, nosecones, wings, E body GC/SE headliners, B body rear window louvers, etc coast to coast in the US, Canada, and overseas to Europe, SE Asia, England, Australia, Japan, etc.....I always pay freight up front, and I'm always looking for discounted freight carriers/exporters that I can rely on.... about the only carrier to "UP AND EXTRA YOU" after it's shipped/quoted/payed (the shipping party) prepaid or not, is FedEx with Canadian/Overseas fees....
