XPO has been my go to for cheap shipping since YRC went out of business.

Pay attention to the fastenal route as the last couple years a lot of fastenal branches have stopped the “outside” bulk shipping.

The fastenal process was pretty easy a few years ago. As long as it can be strapped to a pallet.
Fastenal has issues crossing the middle part of the country. It is their "Blue Lane Freight" service and roughly speaking they do not cross the continental divide. That said I have used them where they do ship and they were competitive as long as the sender can palletize. If that is you, be prepared for it. If you are the one shipping I can say that my company uses Southeastern Freight Lines (SEFL.com) for a ton of stuff and they are pretty reliable. I bet you could drop at a terminal and get it going.

Are you shipping one out? Or want one shipped in? If you are shipping out you may could reach out to ECGS and pay them a little to have them set up the shipping since they do it all the time.

I always shipped SEFL when I had my shop, but I haven't shipped freight in a while now.
