Shipping a Cab

I'm ignorant on the topic of shipping freight. Anyone have any ideas about the best way to ship a truck cab from San Diego to Kentucky?

I agree. I used Uship to get my truck from Chicago to home. It was an easy process and the shipper did a good job using good equipment.

Yeah, try Uship, you never know who might low bid the next guy. I got my information for the A&E series Shipping Wars. Hey, it's reality TV, it's got to be true:

Marc will strap anything to his open bed semi trailer, no matter the item or weather. He could trim the stash so he can be taken more seriously, not look like a circus side show act.

Jennifer will stuff anything that she can make a few bucks into the back seat of her truck or with some smelly animal in her trailer. She is kind of nice to look at but I couldn't take the dingy act for long.

Jarret will under bid the others and then will load your item incorrectly, have numerous break downs with his POS van and be at least a day late delivering it.

Roy will be a cocky *** when he gets to your location and will cobble something together that will hold you load in place. He won't have patience for you if your item doesn't roll itself up into his trailer. If you're on the receiving end he'll be extremely impatient to unload the item and get paid.

These two are OK but Christopher has a hair do no one over the age of twelve should have and he makes it worse by cursing his dog with the same do. Robbie, like Jennifer, is nice to look at. Why she hangs around a guy with a shark fin on top of his head I don't know. Maybe he makes up for it in other ways.

Just messing you, I've heard you can get some decent pricing for shipping on the site.
