Reasonable Large-Implement Hauling Service?

I am aware of the hauling board of this site but does anyone have any experience with commercial equipment haulers for larger equipment items (grain drills, balers, and other items not able to place on a pallet) as I have found the shipping to be outrageous. The destination is typcially from the Midwest or South delivering to Central California. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks!

I recently had a Mini Excavator shipped from Ok to Mi. I went thru a broker who found room on an existing load. It was added income for this guy and so I got it shipped for $900. I would try to find a small broker to help you.

What do you consider to be outrageous? With diesel fuel approaching the $3.00 a gallon mark, a trucker still isn't making ends meet even at $2.00 a mile

My limited experience is as follows: I was looking at shipping a NH 565 square baler from midwest and the shipping quote was $5,000 until they realized it was an oversize item and it became $7,000. I was totaly felxibe on the timing. No deal. I had a John Deere 1070 with loader shipped to me from midwest last year for $1250.00 which seemed fair to me. I also sent an automobile to New York for $600.00. I am always flexible on the timing. Auto, tractor, and palleted shipping seems reasonable but larger implement items with non-standard dimensions seem to be an "unknown" to shippers thus the price goes up. That"s why I am asking the original question.

I can't imagine that the NH baler would have been over-dimension or anything so it would not require any oversize permits or extra cost for that reason. Some of that machinery does get difficult to secure to the trailer, very hard to find a place to attach the tie-down chains. Also, the larger the machine is, the more space it takes up, so it would be more difficult to include it as a part of another load.

That 565 is over 102" wide and that is a concern for just about any long haul trucker. Especially given the fact that the wheels won't fit on a 102" bed, causing loading and unloading concerns. How many long distance loads of machinery do you see where the load is wider than the trailer and NOT placarded as a wide load? I am not saying the quote was legit, but there is a real reason it is higher than 4000 lbs of freight strapped to two standard pallets. The job is "worth" whatever it takes to get it done regardless of what we think it should cost.

I can bet that NH doesn't pay 7000$ shipping on each baler.

A local loads that stuff all different ways for shipping. Some items he removes the chute on the rear and the tongue and stands it on its tail on a crate. That way a lift truck can pop it on the trailer.

It cost us 300 dollars to have a new 565 transported to us. we are a dealer and we are 50 miles from the factory. Do the math it would be alot to have one hauled a long distance

No they don't, the dealers pay the freight. And they are shipped upright in a crate so 4 of them on a standard flatbed trailer don't constitute an oversize load.
