Getting a 50 hp Dayton ( &50lbs on pallet seller says) TEFC motor from point A to B. Point A has loading dock and forlift. Point B doesn't. Any good quotes for shippers? Can I do better than $450. I remember 1 year ago paying $1700 for a 20 ft container with 12,000 lb lathe in it from Alton IL to 32720. $450 seems like an awful lot for that little.

Multiple quotes from any of them. Just fill in some blanks.

Used the first two many times.
 
If your shipper can get it to a Fastenal store, try their freight service. Look up BLF freight and fill out their quote request. You should have a reply within 24 hours. I don't know your distance, but I currently have 500# coming 1100 miles for $167.
 
Lift gate at delivery end is hurting you.

Running those numbers (commercial at both ends, lift gate at delivery end, 750 pounds, 40x48" pallet, 26" tall) on my account with the broker I use, the lowest 4 companies are:

$321.90 - Pitt Ohio
$322.53 - Clear Lane Freight
$338.95 - WARD Trucking
$343.79 - R&L Carriers

I'm PMing you the name and cell number of the sales guy I use.
 
I just dropped off the drill grinder to Fstenal on friday.

The manager has not seen nor heard of any stopping, she remarked that during the start of
the Plandemic, they stopped all frieght.
