IndianaRed said: (quoted from post at 11:15:07 10/25/08) Another good source for finding shippers is a website called UShip.com. You list your item and shippers bid on your job.
Can sometimes be less than UPS and FedEx. Depends on how far off the Interstates you are.

I've found that site to be almost as useless as t!ts on a chicken. The shippers want you to haul for less than the price of fuel, get guys battling over hauling some piece of junk for $0.50/mile, USHIP fees are getting rediculous like EBAY, shippers post things on there and don't respond to questions/bids/etc. Go ahead and put your load on there, I can't imagine it being around much longer.
