Remember it is over the mountains. And it might have special
issues on it - e.g. low humidity (no rust) added insurance
for spoilage (rust/breakage) and fuel costs.

I shipped two surface grinders several years ago about the same
distance and it was even more. Has mat. The units were tilted
so badly in shipping and jostled the hydrologic pump pool spilled.
One shipped by train another by truck from the same pickup.

Train got here first.
