I've got a motor in clear lake MN that a hobby buddy put on a pallet and boxed it in. I'm looking to get the motor from MN to North Florida. Anyone heading down this direction for vacation and want their gas paid for? Figured I'd throw out there since winter is in and folks may be heading this way to warm up!

FWIW Fastenal is shipping again. I just contacted them about shipping a transmission for me.

Check to be sure your local & destination Fastenals both have a forklift to handle a palletized engine.

Jim, try Uship, you can put out a bid request, state what you are willing to pay, and see if a shipper responds. I've had good luck with them. You may find a "Hot Shot" or independent trucker with a load going south.

You may find a "Hot Shot" or independent trucker with a load going south. Thanks will look into that option as well. I was hoping someone was heading south for winter and wanted their gas and hotel covered. Win-win as they say.

Taking up space and he put a lot of effort building a crate for it. Can't believe no forum folks want a free trip to Florida! Just think of the honey points you'd earn...although it is north florida so we actually do get a few weeks of winter. I'd even be willing to provide free nights stay or a couple at my small hobby house. Nothing fancy, but clean comfortable and quiet on 5 acres. Has water, heat/air and hi speed internet. About hour from the beach in north florida.
