Try Uship.com
I've moved several pieces of equipment through Uship.com. Works like Ebay with feedback, bidding etc. Moved a skid loader from Florida to Houston, Tx for $500.00. I have 2 pieces listed there now waiting for bids.

Keep in mind that one skid loader is only about 20% of a load. There are many freight companies that bundle 3,4,5, or more small items like that to make a load.
I got a 12,000# excavator bucket from Illinois to CA this way for around $1,000
If the truck had 4 similar items, thats $4,000 for the trip. Not bad for Il to CA run
Skid steer weighing around 8,000# (avg), you could get 5 or 6 items. Then its $2500 to $3,000 for that Fl to TX load

tootlems, thanks for the link to Uship. I have sold a tractor to some guys in Kansas and we are splitting the shipping. I recieved one quote of $5800, but after reading this thread put an ad on Uship and recieved 2 bids for $3600 and $3700!
Needless to say thanks for the info.:drinkup

Hey worf69, thanks for the professional service at a good rate.:drinkup You guys worked quick, got the load and delivered it on time. The driver was proficient and courteous. I only talked to the driver one time on the phone and he found the site, loaded the machine and was gone to his destination. Unfortunately I was unable to meet him on site to help with loading, tell him good job.
It was a very good experience using you guys to move the dozer. If anyone else needs to have some iron moved, just contact worf69.
Thanks.:drinkup
