Bob,
I was able to get DHL Express to deliver a 900 omni in a 140" X 4 X 4
cardboard tube from Michigan to California for ~$95 (33lbs). Both UPS
and Fedex refused to accept it as it was too long and all the trucking
companies were way too expensive($250-$600). Oddly enough, DHL ground
would not take it, but their air service would.
