Find Out Your Engine Shipping Costs

How We Accommodate Equipment for Engine Shipments

Car engines require heavy duty crates or pallets to secure the cargo without shifting during transport. Our freight drivers are trained to handle your engine shipment with care while loading and unloading.

We have a variety of equipment to expertly manage your haul, including:

Ship Your Engine with LTL or FTL

We can provide less-than-truckload (LTL) or full truckload (FTL) for your engine shipments. Our carriers have the capacity to move small engine shipments or high-volume engine shipments anywhere in the US.

The infographic we’ve provided shows the pros of LTL and FTL.

Ultimately, FTL is better for high-volume shipments and LTL is best for smaller shipments. If your engine shipment better fits a LTL, you’ll need to know your NMFC code prior to transport. Our freight consultants will classify your freight and its code to speed up the paperwork and shipping process.
