[TheForge] Cheap Motor Freight?

[Buddy Holmes]

Phil;

Find a shipping, packaging type company in your area. Most have receiving 
arrangements with the freight companies. They can arrange to have it 
shipped to that location usually at a big discount. You tell them where 
it's coming from and they will find cheapest to their location at their rates.
