We had to ship a large Caterpillar engine. Common carriers kept sending a regular Box truck, which the engine could not be properly loaded on. After promising my customer several times that the engine had shipped,then finding out it had not, WE WERE IN TROUBLE. I found USHIP on the Net and had several quotes within a short period of time. Some of the quotes were cheaper , but I needed a Flatbed truck and someone who could pickup and deliver the same day. I found ( CHARLOTT ) and it worked out for the both of us. I will, without a doubt use USHIP again. John
