I'm looking for someone who could ship/transport one of my snowmobiles from southern MN to PA. Does anybody know any reputable shipping or transport companies?

SLED SHIPPING NATIONWIDE, CHEAP
If anyone on here would need shipping of snowmobiles. We have moved over 50 sleds for members on here. We send them LTL and would need to be crated for proper insurance. To and from Dealers are best..
Zips
Size of crate, LXWXH
Weight
Needs to go Business to business and dock to dock, customer may drop off at local terminal.
The last one I did from Salt Lake City to Minnesota was around $350.
If you take the windshield and skis off, I can ship them at CL 100 which is way cheaper. CRATED IS BEST WAY TO SHIP, PALLET WORKS IN A BIND BUT IS A LITTLE MORE, DOCK TO DOCK, YOU CAN DROP OFF AT THE TERMINAL TOO IF NEEDED

I am on my email all day from 7-3 usually. And can get a free quote within about 20 minutes. We work with most all the big LTL companies (Saia, YRC, RR, etc)

Just some help for guys who may not know:
Your local dealerships have crates this time of year, I know for Doo it is easy to re-install a sled in their crates, they screw together. (As long as the dealer doesn't cut them apart to open them) If your dealer is good to you (and wants you to pay for your new sled, lol) they may work with you. I just recrated a Freeride in my trailer, and my dealer let me use their forklift to unload it from my rig and load it into a shipping trailer on their lot. Be sure to get the hardware also, or the sled will not fit. (Front shock replacement bars, suspension hooks to compress the rear suispension.) It is also nice to get the foam and fabric protective covering to keep things happy. On Doos the front shocks, windshield, glove box door, skis, and rear bumper have to come off to fit back in the crate. Rear flap also should come off, but you can jam it in there. It is easier to fit everything if you get a crate that is one size larger than your sled. (163 crate for a 154, 154 crate for a 146, etc.) Doos have a VERY tight fit, the suspension has to be compressed with the hooks or it will touch the roof of the crate.
Polaris crates are steel and dealers have to return them to Polaris or they get charged, so you won't get one of those for Poos. I am sure you could get a Polaris to fit in a Doo crate though.
Mike shipped a Freeride for me a couple of years ago, it was easy to do, I crated it, dropped it at the terminal, new owner got it with no issues.
