Christmas anyway.

    UST uses one shipping technique and, as long as  I've been doing 
business with them, one freight company. The company is more  of a broker, 
contacting independent truckers for freight requirements. The  main advantage is 
that they ship directly from the factory to the buyer with  no intermediate 
handling, thus driving their freight damage claims to just  about zero. 
Crank-up tower freight damage is a huge problem and that's their  workable 
solution.
