Default Need shipping help

I have located a set of doors and a hatch for my other project that I need to move from Arizona to Florida. I have not been able to find an independent that makes that route. Conventional shipping seems to be too much to make it worthwhile. Too big to go greyhound. Does anyone know an independent trucker that runs this loop that may be able to pick these up for me? Any other suggestions?
Thanks, Roy

ABS Freight will take them, but you must already know freight shipping is expensive!! Are you sure Greyhound won't take them individually?? Per piece they aren't that large nor heavy I would think.

Default Shipping Info

I recently had a hardtop shipped from Illinois to south FL, terminal to terminal, Watkins Motor Freight. Weighed 220 lbs., box was most of the weight, top around 60-70 lbs. Plywood box size: 61X56X20.

Cost to ship: $340.00. I was glad to pay it, considering the price I purchased the top for. Arrived undamaged.
