Need to transport machinery, any tips?

[Azmal]

Hey guys, long time no see. I had to stop by the forum to send a PM to a member here and it occured to me that some of you guys may have some advice for an issue I need to take care of. Basically, I kind of made a gamble on an auction for 5 leather working machines, and I got a good deal, but now I gotta get it shipped from Tampa, FL to Gatesville, TX. I've listed it at a place called uShip and am awaiting a good bid but maybe you guys know of some better options?

uShip listing:

Ebay auction:

I've got a 20' enclosed trailer but it'd make me loose about 5 days of productivity and the trailer has been sitting a while so I may need new tires. Plus we all know our trucks aren't geared for MPG so it'd cost about $1000 there and back for gas alone, plus food, and oil change when I got back. Never mind that I'm not geared to transport machinery so it's inefficient to begin with.
So thats why I don't go get it myself lol
