[AT] How to Ship a Winch?

[jtchall at nc.rr.com]

Check with the freight company for shipping rates. A list member shipped me 
a straw chopper for a combine, the freight company classed it as equipment 
and charged a high shipping rate. I refused the shipment (it was COD) and 
called the trucking company. When I explained it was salvage parts off a 
junk machine, they reduced the shipping cost by over 1/3.  The trucking 
company may also charge less if he picks it up at the terminal, unless he 
works somewhere that routinely gets freight shipments.

Strap it to a pallet and ship it by truck freight.
