I think what you're looking for is somebody with an empty pickup truck heading from Boise to Ontario Canada (wow - thats gotta be over 1500 miles!)....

For this, you post an advertisement in the the local newspapers for both Boise and Ontario.

Front page ads might be the only way to be certain you get seen.... about $60 US.

Then you gotta pay the driver, cuz weight reduces gas mileage.

Then, if a guy and a pickup full of brand new ATV gets into an accident, he had better be insured for what he was hauling (insurance is expensive too)..... but usually they are not insured for the load they carry - they will need to check for certain.

Not to mention the concept of sleep.... he has to sleep sometime!

What guarantees the ATV won't get stolen from his truck, while he sleeps at a motel?
Nothing.

The ATV is gone, the truckdriver says he is sorry, and you'd be one sad ex-ATV owner.

I'd bet you could pay a few hundred more and get your rig from a local dealer: I see over 40 dealers in Ontario when I visited

Don't do it!

I've seen you post this same post in a couple of places and it got me thinking.... This "friend" of yours is buying you a brand new 400ex??? Did you meet your "friend" on the internet by any chance? Is he asking for anything in return? Is he saying something to the effect that if you send him $500 for the shipping he'll buy the quad for you???
