Hi there, new to the forum. I’m looking to ship a Kart from the NW part of the country, to the Chicago area. Does anyone know any reputable shippers or have somewhere I can go to look for shipping? I’ve done an online search but I get a solid number, so far all I found is $400+ to have it shipped. It seems a bit much, even for a kart, I have shipped full size cars for almost the same price and distance. I’m currently going on sites like Freight Center for shipping rates.
Thanks Jeff. I’ll bookmark that address before Dave gets annoyed with me. When I tried doing a search, all I come up with were the tags that were available from Stapels.

I called the number you gave me for the guy in Antioch (Dave), and he was of great help. He was able to find me a reasonable rate, around $220 from CA. I also called Viking and LAD as you recommended and they were a big help as well.
I had a kart shipped out to illinois by roadrunner. Came fast. I didnt pay for the shipping though so I cant tell u much else. Kart arrived in perfect condition though
I live in the western suburbs of Chicago. Suggest that you start by contacting these Chicago area kart shops, L.A.D Specialties at http://www.ladspec.com/ or Viking at http://www.vikingkartingproducts.com/. Dave Larson had a kart shipping service but could not find a web site. I can PM you his phone number if you wish to contact him.
