Bumping this- Anyone got central dispatch access or highly familiar with u-ship?
Needing to ship a running driving suburban from ~ Boston to just south of Rocky Mount, NC. its a straight shot just under 700 miles down I 95 door to door.
I have a standing offer from a broker referred by an irate member in this or another thread at $1/mi plus 10% fee, which isnt outrageous, but I want a deal. That's right on the borderline of fly & drive for me, with $50 flights available so looking to get it down 150-200 to make it an easy decision to ship.
I have it listed on U ship and in the first 12 hrs its 2 brokers undercutting eachother $20 at a time from $1.75/mi heading down towards $1/mi.
Cheap is more important to me than good in a transporter- Not on a particularly tight timeframe and don't care much how its treated on the trailer as long as it arrives with major components in tact, so I feel like someone should pack it onto a load for under a buck a mile/ help cover fuel to gtfo of the NE. U ship does show a rate range as low as 390ish from past auctions.
is there a hack where i can pick it up from a central hub type location somewhere within 100 mi or so like say Rocky mount which is half way from Miami to NY, or similar and save a bunch?
