I am in the process of buying a trailer and want to ship it from Phoenix, AZ, to Castle Rock, CO. It’s not huge - 4x8 box with roof rack. Does anyone know of a reliable shipping company? I shipped my hero once and it was a bit of a nightmare weeding through that industry. An independent outfit would be best.

I work outside Phoenix and routinely make the trip home to Northern Colorado. When do you need it? We might be able to work something out to just have me pull it back on one of my trips. I only have about 100k miles of pulling a trailer under my belt. My rig is fully equipped with trailer brakes and a 7 pin connector. I have adapters for a standard no brake connector.

might be but be sure they are insured as a for hire carrier
just getting Dick from timbuktoo will cause more grief if things go sideways
maybe try some oil field hot shot companies, they'll likely tie it to a trailer deck and they should be bona fide carriers
