I use ABF trucking, and have had good luck. If you ship it as "machine parts'' rather than "engine assembly, or auto parts" you can usually get a better rate. If you can take the crate to the terminal for them to load, rather than home pickup, you can save a good bit on shipping. Be sure to insure it. If you have to file a lost freight, or damage claim & don't have insurance you will be SOL. Don't skimp on the crate, your motor will likely be handled many times with lift trucks. Dock workers are NOT gentle with freight. I seem to remember a video posted some where on how to build an engine crate, but don't have a bookmark for it.

Check out uShip. You just list what you want to ship and the from & to locations and shiopopers will bid on the job. I had a motor shipped cross country from California to the east coast a few months back for about $175.00
