[rescue] Shipping Large Machines?

[Ken Hansen]

Zach,

I recently brought home two equipment racks in a rented Enterprise Van - my
cost was $55, less a 5% AAA discount with unlimited milage (which was great,
as I put 500 miles on it in one days rental!). But, their trucks don't have
lifts. ;^(

U-Haul and Ryder have trucks with *ramps* that cost about$20-50/day, plus
mileage - a cube van for about $30-35 should suffice.

Ken
(I went to near Syracuse, NY from Trenton, NJ to get my 6' HP Rack, and
while there, I was offered another rack for the same money - about $60. The
first rack was a bit rougher than I hoped (but as the seller described it),
but the second rack was very nice - a great way to spend the day! Now I have
to wait for my friend to come over and help me move the racks to the
basement - I want someone on either side as it goes down the stairs on a
handtruck. These suckers are *heavy*!)
