Hey all,

I need to get a crate from WI to DE.

The shipper I tried said I need a business license to avoid a cost of three times what it would be otherwise. (this is BS)

I tried a third-party shipper who also told me that I needed a business license before they could help me.

So..............any suggestions for a company that will ship a crate affordably for an average person? I have a UPS account and will be calling them this afternoon but an already certain that they will be stupid expensive.

Any of you have a business license that would be willing to let me use it to set up this shipping? A big ask, I know but I am starting to get desperate.

Thanks all
tim

Wow, I never have heard of that one with shipping LTL loads (less than a 
truck load).

All the 3rd party 'brokers' seem to promise one price, then once it's 
shipped, they say things like, "it weighed more" or "it was an oddball 
size" and they hit you with extra fees AFTER delivery that you can't 
fight.

I found that UPS Freight (NOT the same UPS account) is the best.

First, call them and tell them you want an account.  Then, you'll get an 
account manager.  Call him (or her) and tell them that you want a 
discounted rate for being a 'good guy' or whatever.  They will normally 
automatically put a 10%-50% discount on your shipping.

Then use them. 

Contact me if you have any other questions.

How big is the rate & what does it weigh?

In 2021 I had a crated transmission weighing about 175 lbs shipped from Fl to Tx. I think it cost less than $200. I?ll have to see if I can find the name of the company. They were actually a commercial tool & equipment company that used their own trucks to get supplies to their stores. If they had spare room on the truck, it went in. If not, it waited for a truck with room. It was store to store shipping. 

Peace, Pat

Years ago, the cheapest way to send heavy crates (transmissions, etc.) was
Greyhound bus. I do not know if they run routes near you or whether they
still do freight, but it used to be drastically cheaper than other carriers.

Sounds like Fastenal. I think they have stopped offering this service.

Yes, Fastenal! I was just trying to find my payment to them! Thanks for 
the information.

It wouldn't hurt to ask them if they do it again, you never can tell.

Someone else mentioned Grayhound earlier. I haven't checked lately but 
when I wanted to ship the transmission, they were much higher than 
Fastenal but might be a good option now.

Peace, Pat

Just looked up Fastenal Ship & they are partially shipping again 
according to their website. The only restriction is that they have east 
& west zones & will not ship between them but that won't affect Tim's 
shipment.

This sounds like LTL from Fastenal. I've Fastenal many times. But, in this case, store to store does not work as the destination is a port.

Thanks

How big is the rate & what does it weigh?

In 2021 I had a crated transmission weighing about 175 lbs shipped from Fl to Tx. I think it cost less than $200. I?ll have to see if I can find the name of the company. They were actually a commercial tool & equipment company that used their own trucks to get supplies to their stores. If they had spare room on the truck, it went in. If not, it waited for a truck with room. It was store to store shipping.

Hey all,

I need to get a crate from WI to DE.

The shipper I tried said I need a business license to avoid a cost of three times what it would be otherwise. (this is BS)

I tried a third-party shipper who also told me that I needed a business license before they could help me.

So..............any suggestions for a company that will ship a crate affordably for an average person? I have a UPS account and will be calling them this afternoon but an already certain that they will be stupid expensive.

Any of you have a business license that would be willing to let me use it to set up this shipping? A big ask, I know but I am starting to get desperate.

Thanks all
tim

I'm not sure, but it looks like Fastenal does still ship. They have east 
and west zones, and don't ship between zones, but Wi and DE are in the 
same zone.  See: https://www.fastenal.com/fast/blue-lane-freight#

Fastenal does still offer shipping, but only for shippers who have business
accounts with them.  I have bought a lot of tractor parts using this
method.  They also only ship within a "zone".  I know I can get stuff from
MN to IA via this method, but not from CA to IA.  They also ONLY ship to
one of their stores, not to another business address.

Subject: [Shop-talk] ZTR zt-3100 trans question
Message-ID: <a538a152-cf64-499b-94eb-57586ed37f2d@icloud.com>

I have a 10 year old 60" Ariens mower that has a problem that I'd like 
some input on. This mower has about 1600 hours on it, has always had 
timely service & everything has been working fine up until last week. It 
seems that a couple of the mounting bolts on one trans sheared, allowing 
that trans to slip out of place. I replaced all the bolts, both sides. 
As I was putting the wheels back on, noticed that there was quite a bit 
of slop in the axle, allowing the wheels to move in & out about 2mm 
each. Checking with shops & the manual showed that there shouldn't be 
any play. I'm thinking about going into the trans to see what I can find 
but I've never been into one of these. Has anyone gone in?

The trans is a zt-3100. In looking on line, there aren't a lot of parts 
for this trans, mainly seals & bearings. Replacement transmissions are 
listed for about $1200 each, while high, is within range. I drove it 
after replacing the bolts & doing a fluid change & it worked for the 
most part, only running slightly slower on the side that had the sheared 
bolts.

I'm thinking that I could run it as it is until winter when I can tear 
it down and if I can't repair them, replace both transmissions. I've 
always been of the opinion that if something is broken it's not a 
problem to see if I can fix it, I can't break it any more!

Suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

Peace, Pat

thanks for the reply Steve...? I kept reducing the error options till I got to 
my smart tv... a call to Sony got a tech who
showed me how to download updated software for the TV and it started working... 
I would have sworn it was a YouTube
problem... but smarter heads proved me wrong

There is nobody to talk to.  What is the issue - technical, political, 
philosophical ? Have you asked Gemini, 
Google's AI?
