Don't know if they still do it, but years ago Greyhound did some
pretty good stuff with freight like that, if you could get it dropped
off and picked up at a station.
Forgot to mention:

If you ship it yourself, make sure the freight line you select goes all
the way from your location to the destination. If it's handed off from
line 'a' to line 'b' in Dallas, your cost just went up a lot.
