Well Fellas,
The axle is in Milwaukee and I'm just east of Salt Lake City. Roughly 1,400 miles each way. I think gas, meals and lodging would be significantly more than shipping.
I'll let you know how much it costs to ship it.

Following up on this thread...
I listed the axle on uship, which was surprisingly painless. After listing it I got about 10 bids virtually instantly. I accepted the low bid of $141.00.
I'll post again when it's delivered and let everybody know how things worked out.

Lots of horror stories about uship too. I read one not too long ago about a guy that had a pickup shipped that never showed up. Make sure the bidder has a mc number and write up a load confirmation, U-ship doesnt verify or care if a bidder is a legal carrier and is absolutely not responsible if your freight never shows or of the condition. That said there are plenty of good and happy transactions there too.

I had the axle assembly delivered to a friends shop (as opposed to my house) as he has a forklift there.
The pallet arrived yesterday afternoon and there was no damage.
My experience with uShip was totally positive. Very reasonable rate and short time in-transit. I would use them again in a heartbeat!

Your experiance was with the shipper, U-ship has nothing to do with the delivery or the shipping they just get a brokerage fee, so next time it will be a different party you actually deal with and can quite possibally be a different experiance. Not knocking u-ship but all they have to do with your shipment is offer you a place to put the shipment up for bids, They are out of it once you accept a bid and have nothing else to do with your shipment.
