Why Freight Terminal Shipping is More Convenient and Cheaper! Are you familiar with how the cable company schedules install appointments? It's great isn't it? They tell you a date and a 5-7 hour time range when they may arrive. This is exactly the same way delivery to a Residence or Business without a loading dock works. The shipping company will schedule a day and time range that the shipment could potentially arrive. You are required to be there and ready with the means to unload the freight truck (with forklift, skidsteer, or tractor with a front end loader) when they arrive no matter when exactly in the time range it is.

This can end up wasting an entire day waiting for your order to arrive, and because of the size and weight of the items that we provide for purchase, could take up your friends, who are helping you unload your items, time as well.

Shipping to a Terminal and Business is all about Convenience! The terminal will contact you upon the item's arrival, and from that time you will have several days to go and pick it up whenever you want during that time period.

Just drive to the terminal to take delivery at the freight terminal. They will load it onto your vehicle. Please make sure your vehicle is capable of handling the weight. Also, bring plenty of tie downs to properly secure the load.

Shipping to a Business Address without a loading dock

We only deal with what we consider to be the safest and most courteous trucking companies, however truck drivers are subject to a number of regulations. One of which is that the truck drivers are not required to give assistance in unloading the shipment. You are required to be there and ready with the means to unload the freight truck (with forklift, skidsteer, or tractor with a front end loader) when they arrive no matter when exactly in the time range it is. If you choose to have your items delivered to a business without a loading dock, please be prepared for this "curbside" delivery.

Ask a friend with a Business Address

Some of our best customers use this option, and recommended we tell you about it. If you have a friend or relative that has a business address with a loading dock, this is a good way for you to have your attachments delivered if you do not have a business address. If you choose to have your items delivered to a friends business without a loading dock, please tell them to be prepared for this "curbside" delivery, as they would be responsible for unloading the item(s) and placing them into your shop. This normally takes a forklift, tractor w/ frontend loader, or skidsteer.

Parts Orders

Orders for parts are processed through a seperate parts system and shipping is charged accordingly when you checkout through this system. Free shipping is not available on the parts checkout system.

UPS

Ups is used on occasion to ship items that fall below 150 lbs. in weight.
