There is a Roadway terminal right in Oak Creek near the airport that might be the easiest. That's the first thing to come to mind. Where are you getting the motor from?

I have no idea. I had to pick up something from Roadway a while back, but I really have no experience with shipping bulk like that.

$190 seems to be a decent rate. I've shipped and received motors before, don't remember what it cost me though. I've used ABF mainly because you can get quotes on their site, http://www.abf.com. If you get a quote from them, make sure you pick "one-time or infrequent shipper", you will get a better rate.

I would jump on that price and get it in writing. Sounds like a very good price to me. Be carefull when they ask what is in the crate. The freight companies have different rates for different types of stuff. One of our fellow forum members was quoted something like $700.00 for shipping automotive quarter panels and body parts so he said that it was plastic parts he got a much lower rate. That $190.00 probably wouldn't cover your gas back and forth if you picked it up yourself. Like I said, sounds really good to me even if you have to pick it up at the terminal.
