Shipping help

I am about to purchase a machine from a town called "Flat Rock" Illinois which is almost exactly halfway between St Louis and Indianapolis.  The seller want's nothing to do with the shipping.  Is there anyone here that lives nearby or would like to make some cash carrying this machine to Forward Air for me?  Any other suggestions on moving or freight companies that might make me a deal on picking up the machine (A Vendo 81)? Thanks!

Check out Erik at machinemover.com.   I believe he is advertised somewhere on this website too.  I've used him in the past and he is very good.  I saw that machine on eBay..low feedback on the seller....I'd try to pick it up with cash if possible...good luck!
