Forward Air will ship bikes, sleds ,atv's anything else. I shipped a banshee from Toledo, Ohio to Portland, Oregon it cost 290. I got a old 400ex crate from a dealer and straped the banshee in and put the box over the top of it. When you ship one, yo uhave to make sure all the fluids are drained out. I dropped it of Monday afternoon and it got there Friday. Try www.forwardair.com

how big of a rush are you in to ship it back? If you are willing to wait a few days or a week you might want to talk to a local trucking company.More then once local farm equipement dealers have hauled things for us as a backhaul or if they have extra space on a trailer when hauling equipement etc.If you have a good relationship with any truckers in the area its worth a try, alot of times if they are running empty they will charge you only enough to cover fuel.

You might even check with one of the major household moving companies. They fix their rates by the weight and miles. Usually pretty cheap, but you may have to wait a week or two for it.

All crated up it weighed 501, but they went by din weight. So the chargable weight was around 650. If your just going up the state. Throw it in the back of a truck or something.
