The big, yellow 2017 Deere crawler excavator—a 470G long-carriage model with a 10-foot, 10-inch width—was located in Lavalette, West Virginia. Its owner needed it moved to Marysville, Washington, nearly 2,550 miles away, with many a mountain in between. The machine had only 972 hours and featured desirable amenities such as climate control and a keyless start system. Using FR8Star, the shipper found and booked the most optimal heavy-haul transportation for the excavator’s cross-country journey.
