Purchasing a specific type of lawn mower. Trying to figure out the best way to do it. Contacted freight services and have a quote for 1550$ so far. Was thinking of hotshot or wondering if someone had a better idea. Every time I did it before, I got things shipped direct to me. Never this far from where it’s coming from though.

Must be a huge lawnmower. If it can't go on a carrier like R&L, which means that is a flat bed truck delivery you need to find a business near you that is willing to accept it.

Sounds like you have a big enough trailer to pickup so I would find a business that is willing to accept the mower. Doesn't cost the company anything to accept the delivery, so I would try that.

I too am an absolutely hopeless cheapskate, so I would entertain the idea of driving it here myself.

Not trailering it, driving it.

It has wheels and an engine - just saying. Get a move on though, gonna be chilly in Massachusssets pretty soon.
