Fastenal Shipping?

[clueless 3,165]

Anybody ship a tractor thru Fastenal lately? A member here tried to get a quote for a tractor shipped to him, Pa. from me, Fl. He said they won't ship because of the oil and gas. I'm sure he told them that I was going to drain all the fluids before shipping. Now he is trying to find another way to ship.

Seems as though Fastenal is getting a little picky on what the ship. But if a man wants to drain all the fluids I don't see why they would not do it. About a year ago I shipped and eaten 1100 transmission they didn't give me any fuss about it.  Was he going to put it on a pallet?

 They will blank tell you if any fluids leak out you would be paying dearly for the cleanup which is overpriced anyway .

I'm the one shipping it and yes it will be on a pallet and all the fluids with be drained. I've done this a couple of times thru Fastenal.

 Don't mind me asking but what does it cost to ship a tractor that distance ?

That's what we are trying to find out. the first time I shipped one was about 6 years ago, small round hood, I'd have to do some research but I think it was less than $200.00 for about 800 miles. the second was a B80 about 250.00 for 800 miles, that was 4 years ago. Got a quote a little over 2 years ago to ship a 314h from Connecticut to me for around $330.00, I can't remember but it was over 1400 miles.
