Default Shipping a trailer

I found a lightly used 20' trailer I would like to purchase -- however its half way across the country.

What's the best/economical way to have the enclosed trailer shipped?

I'm considering u-ship, but looking for alternatives.

thank you,

Mike

there's a guy on uship that does a lot of boat trailer towing around the country that did my car trailer from Midwest to NJ. It was reasonably priced, and they were very professional, with updates along the way, on time delivery. I t was a great experience. Davefred or something like that.

Another vote for U-ship, have had several customers use them for various needs.

+1 for Uship. I had my trailer moved to Austin from New Mexico for about 800 (IIRC). Super easy.

Same on U-Ship. Used them to get my Trailex 20' from Chicago area to Albany, NY. The whole experience was great.

Also talk to a local trailer place. They have people transport their new inventory who may be able to help you.
