I've shipped a transmission a couple times using the trucking company "Consolidated FastFrate". Both times the shipper just strapped it to a pallet, and delivered it to the Consolidated FastFrate warehouse. First time was to the warehouse in Montreal, and the second time to their warehouse in Winnipeg. Had them shipped to Calgary, and I picked the tranny's up at the Consolidated FastFrate warehouse here in Calgary.
Ask the junk yard if they'd ship on a pallet to a business address? I did one a while ago from NB to Bridgewater for $35. They would only ship to a business address.

Probably not in your time line but I'm driving from B.C. to Quebec in early June. Just going in a car and haven't really finalized a route yet but at some point should have room as I'm driving solo.
To answer the thread title... In the highest gear it has to get the best mileage.
Geoff, Geoff, Geoff ... I was thinking the same.

Not sure if helps at all. Going from Vancouver to Winnipeg mid April. If it would fit in the trunk of a Lincoln Town Car (Hello JD, sorry Carl) Id be only too glad to fetch it and leave it in Winnipeg.
Just let me know
