I need some help finding cheaper shipping

Remember if you pick it up PT has to charge you VA sales tax. Not sure of the percentage but it could be expensive.

Yes, and if you arrange for someone to pick it up and haul it, then you don't... /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Thinking outside the box...

How about the used PT-425 trailer package shown on the Power Trac site for $13,000 in St Augustine Florida...

Fly in, rent a truck to tow it back, and do it for considerably cheaper than the price of the new package not counting the shipping....

Kent, Good find! There was one that looked good for the N CA move. I'll paste it in here:

From: North East , OH To: Las Vegas, NV
Can Haul: I have room going west to Las Vegas from Ohio for anything in the 6000lb range. 25ft flatbed with ramps. We are going out to haul are tractors back east and are looking for anything going out that way in early June. Thanks.
Hauling Date(s): June 3
Contact: Mike Wilcox [Click Here to Email] Phone: 330-256-3746

Deadheading 3.5 to 4 hrs south to move loaded cross country would probably work well for this guy. If you can move it that last leg Vegas to home or maybe something like Reno to home maybe the guy would make it even a better price per mile rate since it would take him near where he wants to be.
