Fedex LTL was high v. Conway. We used RTL and had problems, so back to Conway. Love to get some competitive quotes ....

Tony , Did you take a package to E.C. to deliver so you can write off this trip ?

We get fairly good pricing on our outbound LTL shipments .... Have you ever tried going through Unishppers? Even with rates we get direct from the carrier ...belonging to a freight group ... they get better pricing using the same carriers that I do....give them a try and see if they can help.
