Due to COVID and son’s asthma he is remote learning.   I need to ship his stuff from school. It’s packed on a pallet.   Any suggestions on best way to do this.  From Minnesota to NJ.   Can’t drive and get it as would need to quarantine for 2 weeks.

    If it's going from a campus to residential, look at uship.com.  It would be expensive for freight carriers because they charge limited access for schools, and then residential+liftgate on the other end.  

    If you can get a local feed store, tire shop, etc with a dock or forklift to receive that pallet for you, will save you some $$$.

    That ^^^

    LTL is the cheapest but for the residential and lift gate, maybe not.

    another option would to be pick it up at the truck terminal if he cant find a local business with dock to help. I give customers quotes with that as an option to avoid that residential and lift gate fee.

    Lot of the carriers we use charge extra for that.  I know, it makes no sense, but they do.
