you could check local shipping companies, see if they have a driver going to Ohio, they could pick it up on the way back to Mass. and drop it with you

nah, like expediting companies, its a big thing around here, most guys like being able to pick something up and bring it back, that way, both parts of the trip are profitable

That is what I was thinking but it is about 2 hours away from me. If I was still working 2nd shift & driving over the road I could, because we have a warehouse in Toledo. Sorry I can't help out. Whats up with the bed? Is it a stepside?
