Probably near that northeast yard you mentioned. Assuming Schnitzer. Freight shipments are cheapest if you are dropping off at the terminal. Ran a quick rate quote. 600 pounds dropped off at terminal, delivered to commercial address in LV, $166 and change.

    Have also used Govern in the past. He may be able to do better, based on the volume he does/
    Little more info for you. Ran a 600 pound pallet 40x48x30. picked up at 95531 and delivered to commercial address with fork lift or dock 89136 (not sure of ENF's exact zip code).



    picked up residential lift gate roughly $365
    picked up commercial no fork lift or dock $305
    picked up commercial fork lift or dock $235
    dropped off at terminal in Central point, OR (used 9/15 date) $125 - not sure why this is lower than when I ran it before.

    As mentioned before, with Govern's discounts based on his volume, he should able to match or beat those numbers.
