2016 Case IH Steiger 540 HD Tractor Shipped To U.S. Heartland With FR8Star

The shipper of this 2016 Case IH Steiger 540 HD tractor used FR8Star to quickly and easily connect with vetted carriers and brokers and arrange safe, secure transportation from California to Missouri.

After placing the winning bid for the tractor at an online sale on AuctionTime.com, the buyer needed to book transportation for the tractor from a business in Merced, California, to a residence in Fairview, Missouri. The 540-horsepower (403-kilowatt) Steiger 540 HD measured 25 feet long by 14.6 ft wide by 13 ft high (7.6 by 4.5 by 4 meters) and weighed 48,000 pounds (21,772 kilograms). It was also equipped with a rubber Grouser blade.

Using the FR8Star intuitive online platform, the shipper quickly submitted a request for shipping quotes to vetted transport carriers and brokers in FR8Star's network. After reviewing multiple competitive bids, the shipper selected a heavy hauler and worked directly with the carrier to finalize trailer selection, pickup and drop-off locations, and other shipping logistics for the tractor's 1,742-mile (2,803-kilometer) journey across the western and central U.S. states.
