I've had a couple of truck parts shipped to me via Fastenal. (Their freight service is known as Blue Lane Freight.) The shipents just ride along in their Fastenal Trucks as they shuttle things between their distribution centers and their stores. It's a great service and cheaper than most alternatives.
They do have to be dropped off and picked up at a Fastenal store, but that was easy in my situation. The store guy used their forklift to put the pallet into my pickup at no extra charge.
One shortcoming: they do not currently offer shipping BETWEEN their East and West zones, only within a zone.
