I want to ship an Enco Bridgeport clone from Wisconsin to northern

This is the current version of the mill, mine has the X axis feed and
an older DRO.

Is that quote with rigging / lift gate on each end, or terminal to
terminal? Your best price would be palletized terminal to terminal so
all they have to do is forklift it from your truck to theirs and back.

Putting a Bridgeport into a truck is not easy...
