Who to use for shipping freight?

[cdiesel]

I've got a franchise that we handle that is now expanding beyond AZ. I've got to ship 96x48x6 boxes that are very lightweight to their new locations, but UPS Freight wants $200 to go the next state over. They're too big to go on standard UPS.

Who are you guys using for this stuff? Thanks for your help!

Call Laird or Port Plastic and see who brings their stuff in to them?

You might be surprised that UPS will do for you on specific package sizes to certain regions. Call your rep and ask for special pricing. In general though that prices isn't horrible for an oversized box. ...but it depends on the rate class

You're best to break them down if possible. Try tnt.com
If you have allot, you might considering having them just trucked there.

It's just one piece of Gatorboard with routered letters on it. Weighs about 25 lbs total. One piece per store, scattered all over the place.

Jiarby: I just talked to Thomas and he said they typically use FedEx Freight to ship their out of town stuff. Thanks guys!

I'd never put a 4x8 gator on a greyhound bus!

Diesel, I think Yellow freight gives us PDAA members a smoking deal on freight...
