[TheForge] Cost of shipping HD stuff?

[northpt at blarg.net]

Hello TheForge

	 I sometimes run across heavy equipment (less than 15,000lbs.) on the net, 
like old planers or power hammers and the like. The price is okay, but shipping is the 
show stopper. I am out here in the Pacific North West and most of the good ol' 
equipment is out on the east coast or the midwest.

	I am looking for the least expensive way of shipping. Is Rail possible? I have 
heard of "Less than normal load shipping" how does that work? 

	Any advise would appreciated.

Thanks!!!
