RE: [ihc] Ford (IH) 7.3 Diesel Available

[Joel Furtek <jf7e@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Tom,

First, thanks for sharing the opportunity with us.  I'm going to look 
very hard at this.

LTL is the way to go.  I recently priced moving some F4 airplane 
wings (didn't work out, I took too long) and the LTL rate was 1/4 the 
'standard' volume rate.

One big advantage to my job is that we have a loading dock and we 
ship a _lot_ of stuff via Roadway, so we get some terrific rates [and 
a lot of free lunches...:-)].

Anybody willing to hazard a guess at the dry weight of a 7.3?

Best,
Joel
