I have a Cat backhoe in Monroe, Wisconsin that I want to truck to Long
Beach or LA, Calif to put aboard a ship bound of Honolulu. I tried
Matson but the cost was too much. Can someone else help me?I would
like to know which trucking company can handle the draying from Monroe
to LA or Long Beach and the shipping company from there to Honolulu.
