I purchased a used machine which is quite large from a previous owner. It was 10' long, and about 2000lbs, making it more difficult to transfer than just a skid. I was looking for a direct pickup and deliver by one carrier/one truck so it would not be handled, and thus need a $1000.00 crating charge. I was patient on the dates/schedule, but the shipper kept me informed of her location and progress so it went very smoothly. This was a fairly valuble and slightly delicate piece of equipment and everything went as planned. Thankyou Uship and Jackie Dempere
