To make money for its investors?
(Just kidding.)
I'm reading this string with great interest, since I'm awaiting the arrival of a 186 being shipped from Cape Cod, MA by Roadway. I just called the commercial mailing place that shipped it for me, since I have not yet seen an email from that place confirming that it had been shipped. Guy says it was picked up yesterday and he's waiting for a call from them with a bill of lading no.
We tried several different ways to ship this, most recently fed ex express saver, but it was so thoroughly foamed, wrapped, and boxed that it was a few inches beyond the size limits, hence the truckline method.
After reading these posts, I've started to have dark thoughts of an old Mirafone "flying dutchman," shuttling back and forth from one depot to another, week after week, into eternity....
