Someone locally might put you on to a gypsy freight hauler. The problem with 
them is if they damage it, there's no insurance claim. Also, if you contract 
with a freight company, you need to be sure to get someone with a front end 
loader or fork lift to unload it from the truck. Every crankup I ever bought had 
some kind of shipping damage. My first one, they pushed off the truck onto my 
front lawn when I wasn't home. The way to prevent that is have them ship it 
freight collect, so they have to get a check from you on delivery.
