[AT] Farm machinery question in Michigan

[Spencer Yost]

As has been suggested:  uship.com.    Very fair prices if you wait a few days for all bids to come in.  The fast, first bids always seem a tad high.    And occasionally some great deals if a shipper is desperate to fill an empty back/head haul. I had that happen once and they brought my truck cheaper than the diesel to drive the truck back, let alone fly out to get it.

I have used it 3 times and never had trouble.    They have a feedback system for the shippers so be sure to look for the feedback so you can review it.

Good luck!

I am currently contemplating whether to possibly purchase a piece of machinery in Michigan and then it would need to be trucked or towed to me here in California. I am currently contemplating some units that are on trailers, not terribly heavy, but are terrifically bulky - something on the lines of 4-7 feet wide, 10-14 feet long and 5-7 feet tall. In short it is a trailer that hooks up to a pickup truck.
