[AT] Anyone near Owasso, OK?

[Cecil R Bearden]

I have used Uship also.   last summer I sent a tractor East to Indiana.  
It was an independent hot shot tucker who stayed on the road all the 
time.  As Spencer said, just be patient, there are a lot of freight 
companies who will try to pressure you on small items at the first 
display of your need. Just wait.

I used a shipper from uship one time to move family furniture and was pleased again. But because the job required them to load the furniture the cost was less reasonable.  But still roughly the same as a hotel and the fuel and I did not have to burn vacation days.

I have lusted after these things for a long time.  Though I am an IH guy to the bone, MF combines were popular around here.  The first combine on our farm was a used MF 300 when I Was very small.

>> Any help appreciated!  Heck, if you know of a 35 closer to NC, that would be good too.  It would definitely make an interesting project.....
