Question Any good frieght companies out there?

Since I've had my car, there have been many occasions where I have bought or sold parts (wheels, seats, etc..) that were too large for UPS. I have used UPS Frieght Service and the rates are pretty reasonable except that they will only insure items that are new. Other companies, FedEX and DHL are way, way too $$$. Most often than not, I do not require an expedited time frame for delivery. Anybody have experience with other carriers that are reasonable, reliable and will insure used items?

We use Daylight transport to deliver our company's computer products when we don't have a full truck load. Our current discount rate is 65% off from their web site and a 4% fuel surcharge. Insurance is $0.50 per $100 for computer parts, which I believe is the most expensive catagory. It will give you the delivery date when you enter your shipment information. Their web site is <a href="http://www.dylt.com" target="_blank">www.dylt.com</a>

We use R & L at the office, I think they have a good deal on freight under 500 lbs for $52.
