I have found Yellow Freight has excellent rates. If you know someone who has an account with a truck line you may save 50% over the "rack rate" . cya -----Original Message----- From: owner-paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net [mailto:owner-paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net] On Behalf Of Kevin Maude (sessio.com) Sent: Sunday, May 02, 1999 6:11 PM To: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subject: [Paddlewise] kayak shipping I am needing to ship a kayak from the midwest to the west coast.

They quoted about $120 from the midwest to Utah. Make sure they "top load" the boat and that it is very securely wrapped- especially around the cockpit and rudder if there is one. You may get a cheaper rate if you pick it up at their nearest truck terminal. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************
The guy that runs Mt Pleasant Canoe & Kayak in Maine http://www.mtpleasantcanoe.com/ dpeckham_at_acadia.net hauls boats all over the country. When I bought my Seward Quest from him he picked it up in BC & delivered to me in Mass. He was hauling a load of Sedas to deliver to a local dealer. A few weeks ago I stopped at a kayak shop on the on the SF penninsula & the proprietor was having a demo day the next day & he was antzy that the delivery he was expecting would be delivered early enough to make his commitments. The deliverer was Don Peckham of Mt Pleasant Canoe & Kayak. If your package pickup & drop off is anything close to on his route I bet he would carry it for a nominal fee. rb Walt Chudleigh wrote: > Kevin Maude (sessio.com) wrote: > > > > I am needing to ship a kayak from the midwest to the west coast.
