Default Re: Bad news gets worse-SHIPPING !!

Pair of 32 Front fenders from Ohio to Nebraska est 500.00. For many years my truck line of choice was Conway because they didn't interline so if there was damage I knew where to go.(never collected a damage claim) They merged with XPO who I shipped with a number of years average cost 6-800 dollars. Now the cost to ship a pallet ed 32 frame is $1500-2000.00 After using the same rate class for about 35 years they raised the class to the max allowable and took away my discount. One thing trucking companies really don't want to service a small operation like mine. I'm glad I decided to retire from the chassis business. When I started the T5 business in the mid 90's I could ship a kit about anywhere for $15 now it's at least $40
