    After a farmer purchases a tractor through TractorHouse, the next step is typically deciding how to transport it home. The answer is FR8Star. Built directly into asset listings on TractorHouse.com, AuctionTime.com, SpecialtyCropEQ.com, and other Sandhills Global trade sites, FR8Star is a service that connects buyers with cost-effective, reliable shipping services from vetted heavy-haul and freight-transport professionals.

    One-Click Easy

    Buyers only need to click the FR8Star Shipping Quotes button on a listing to request free shipping quotes from carriers and brokers in the FR8Star network. After clicking the button, a form automatically fills in key details like dimensions and weight, while users enter pickup and delivery locations. Quotes can also be requested at FR8Star.com.

    Most users receive estimates within a minute, often followed by multiple competitive bids. Each all-inclusive quote outlines permits, escorts, or other requirements. Through the FR8Star Dashboard, users can compare bids, view carrier ratings and reviews, track shipments, and access support from FR8Star logistics experts.

    Making Connections

    FR8Star providers have trailers and equipment to transport tractors, implements, cattle, hay bales, and more. Services are available for heavy, oversized, and overweight loads, as well as partial truckload (PTL) and less-than-truckload (LTL) shipments, general freight, and specialized cargo across the U.S., Canada, and internationally.

    Carriers offer flatbed, step-deck, RGN, and other trailers for large equipment, hot shot trucking services for lighter loads, and drive-away, piggyback, and power-only options for moving day cab trucks, semi-trailers, RVs, boats, and more.

    Heavy-Haul Shipping Made Simple

    Contact your Sandhills sales representative to learn how FR8Star helps customers arrange dependable shipping for equipment, vehicles, livestock, and more.
