There's a name for the kind of hauler you're thinking about it and I can't for the life of me think of it this minute.
But it's the companies you see with the double and triple bottoms out on the road -- Yellow, Roadway, OverNite, CF. They specialize in mixed loads as opposed to moving a full trailer load of goods between two points.
A lot of ins and outs to it. Most will want it the wheel strapped to a pallet. To get a rate, you need to nail down a lot of specifics with your buyer beforehand -- do they pickup, do they need a liftgate to pick it up, will it fit on the liftgate, or do you take it to the terminal, your pallet or theirs . . . On the delivery end, your buyer has the choice of picking it up at their terminal or having the company arrange with a contractor for local delivery -- one price for a liftgate truck, another for delivery to a loading dock.
Do-able, but the more details that go into booking the haul, the fewer surprises in the enterprise. Big one is for the buyer to be equipped or set up to accept the delivery. I had the 3-point for my Super C delivered to a local garage. Driver moved the pallet to the lift-gate, and the garage backed up their roll-off and winched it off the liftgate onto the deck. I shoed up that afternoon, and we slid the pallet off into my pickup. At home, me and a gorilla-like friend moved it down planks to the ground.
