Ship Your Recreational Vehicles With FR8Star, The Heavy Haul Experts

    Posted On: July 13, 2020

    FR8Star provides a streamlined, intuitive way for shippers like you to find a hauler for heavy equipment, partial loads, and oversize/overweight items in the U.S., Canada, and the U.K. FR8Star gives shippers a free, no-obligation way to get fast freight estimates (in as little as 30 seconds) and request firm bids from qualified carriers and brokers. Carriers and brokers get access to an active load board with a fast-growing customer base by becoming a subscriber to the platform.

    Get Instant Estimates

    To get started, simply click the Shipping button on any listing—whether that listing is on RVUniverse.com or one of Sandhills Global’s many other industry trade sites. You can also ship heavy machinery, vehicles, containers, and more by visiting FR8Star.com and clicking the Getting Started link.


    FR8Star automatically pulls in the item’s dimensions, weight, and location if available. Heavy haul, flatbed, hot shot, piggyback, enclosed, Landoll, and other specialized types of hauling are all available. Then, usually within 30 seconds (or in a few hours for oversize/super loads), FR8Star will provide free all-inclusive transport estimates.

    Get Firm Bids

    Next, you can request firm bids from FR8Star’s trusted network of insured, bonded brokers and carriers. FR8Star will ask for more details about the shipment, such as pick-up and delivery time and preferred method of loading and unloading. After submitting a request for firm bids, you can verify that your load is posted on FR8Star’s Leads page.

    Review Bids

    Bids are all-inclusive, taking into account any permits, pilot cars, or other necessary expenses, so there is no need to worry about hidden fees as long as you provide accurate information about the load. You will receive notifications as new bids come in, as well as when a new low bid appears or is about to expire (after 7 days). You aren’t obligated to accept any of the bids you receive.

    To help you make an informed decision, FR8Star places transport companies into a number of tiers including Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, and Diamond. These customer satisfaction tiers are based on factors such as the number of loads they’ve booked through the platform, customer ratings and reviews, and how long they’ve been hauling for the service. Each bid displays the bidder’s contact information, and FR8Star offers a built-in messaging system, as well.

    Book It

    Once you accept a bid, FR8Star will notify the hauler. The broker or carrier will handle the paperwork and other details, and you will pay the hauler directly. FR8Star’s agents will also be available to help out with any issues along the way, from start to finish.

    Note For Carriers & Brokers

    If you’re interested in becoming part of the FR8Star network, visit FR8Star.com and click either the Carriers or Brokers link at the top of the page to find out more.
